I am a trauma therapist who helps adults heal from painful experiences, long standing emotional patterns ,and the stress that can build up in both the mind and the body.
My style is warm, direct , and thoughtful, and I work with clients who want more than symptom relief - they want deeper understanding, lasting change, and a stronger sense of self. I also bring a wellness perspective to therapy, recognizing the impact of stress, sleep, lifestyle and the nervous system health on emotional well-being.
Have you been let down by the mental health system? If you've been rushed through appointments, given quick diagnoses, or told your labs are "fine" when you know something is off, I want you to know you're not alone—and you're in the right place. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I created my practice for individuals like you who are ready to move beyond symptom-chasing and find a clear, root-cause understanding of their mental health.
Feeling trapped by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or procrastination? I help you gain calm and control with practical, evidence-based CBT and ERP -informed tools. I help adults with anxiety and OCD intrusive thoughts, reduce chronic overthinking, and feel steady again in their daily life and relationships. My approach integrates ERP and CBT for practical symptom relief with deeper attachment and parts-based work to address long-standing relational patterns, self-criticism, and codependency. Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and paced to your individual path.
Many functioning adults struggle with anxiety, OCD, or procrastination that persists even when they understand what’s happening.
These patterns aren’t a lack of willpower —
They may be learned responses that can be changed with the right support and tools.
Together, we create tailored plan for transcending patterns that have kept you stuck.
You’ll leave sessions with language for your patterns, tools that work in real time, and a quiet confidence you didn’t think was possible.
I specialize in:
People tell me they value my sincerity, warmth, and ability to make them feel truly seen — while also being gently challenged to grow.
If you’re ready to stop spinning and start shifting, schedule a session with me today.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
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. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.
