I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over twenty five years of experience helping adults navigate relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and the complexities that arise throughout different stages of life. I also treat clients who are interested in personal growth and development. My practice is designed for individuals who are seeking thoughtful, personalized therapy and who value a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.
As a clinician, I believe that one of the most important components of psychotherapy is having an atmosphere which is supportive, patient, validating and compassionate. I approach my patients with integrity and a commitment to help you create a higher quality of life that resonates with your authentic self. I believe that meaningful change occurs within the context of a strong therapeutic relationship. I offer a warm, attentive, and collaborative space where clients can slow down, reflect, and explore patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we work to uncover underlying issues, build insight, and develop lasting strategies for growth and emotional well-being.
My approach is integrative and tailored to the unique needs of each client. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, I take the time to understand your history, strengths, values, and goals. Whether you are facing a current challenge, navigating a major life transition, or seeking greater fulfillment in your personal relationships, therapy can provide an opportunity for meaningful and lasting change. I help clients gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and create more authentic and satisfying lives.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New York
Finding the right therapist in New York starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types in New York include licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus.
New York has one of the largest concentrations of mental health providers in the country, which can make narrowing your options feel overwhelming. Consider what matters most to you: a provider's specialty, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, their location relative to your neighborhood or commute, and their availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and approach so you feel more confident going in.
Therapy in New York can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see which providers are covered and get an estimated session cost before you book.
