Hello! I am a Columbia-trained and Columbia-affiliated psychiatrist who specializes in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding an LGBTQIA-affirming therapist in Yonkers starts with understanding what kind of support you're looking for. Some people seek help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns that may be shaped by experiences of minority stress or discrimination. Others want a provider who can support identity exploration, coming out, or navigating family dynamics — without needing to explain the basics of LGBTQIA+ life. An affirming therapist acknowledges and respects your identity as a foundation for care, not something to work around.
Yonkers and the broader Westchester County area are home to a range of licensed providers, including therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, who specialize in LGBTQIA-affirming care. When evaluating a provider, consider reading their bio to learn about their training, therapeutic approach, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients. A free phone consultation can also help you gauge whether a provider feels like the right match before committing to a session.
Therapy in the New York metro area can be expensive, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find an LGBTQIA-affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
