I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, and patterns that may no longer be serving them. My professional background includes work in outpatient behavioral health settings, where I’ve worked with clients experiencing complex trauma, attachment wounds, and longstanding relational patterns that may contribute to various mental health concerns. Clients often come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, unhealthy relationship dynamics, or difficulty understanding why they react the way they do. Together, we work to identify where these patterns originate and develop healthier, more intentional ways of responding.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


As someone who has undergone her own adversities, I can sincerely say that I know how elusive achieving change and growth can be, but I also know that change is possible. Navigating through the difficulties and stressors that life inevitably brings us can be challenging and difficult to do alone, which is why I am a firm believer that healing begins the moment we feel heard. I have worked in mental health clinics, inpatient psychiatric settings and group practice settings, but have found that I excel in private practice where I have the ability to offer one on one, individualized psychotherapy.

As a warm, open-minded, and empowering therapist, I am dedicated to helping adults and families navigate life's most complex challenges. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling and bring a robust professional background working across diverse clinical settings, specializing in treating anxiety, sleep disorders, identity exploration, relationships, and bipolar disorders. In my practice, I frequently serve populations navigating cultural or ethnic issues, men’s issues, and individuals healing from trauma or substance abuse. On a personal note, my commitment to mental health stems from my own lived experiences navigating difficult life transitions, which gives me a genuine, human understanding of how intimidating it can be to take this first step toward healing.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in New York

Searching for therapists in New York means choosing from a wide range of licensed professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and schedule matter, too. A therapist in New York City may offer different appointment options than one in Buffalo, Albany, or the Hudson Valley, and virtual therapy can help broaden your search beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.

The cost of mental health care in New York varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, verifying your insurance, and estimating your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and specific plan. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
