Override Hero Title

I am a double board-certified mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner working predominantly with individuals ages 18-65. I hold master's degrees from Pace University. As both an advanced practice nurse and a psychiatric nurse at heart, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings including inpatient care ( NewYork-Presbyterian), outpatient services and teaching future advanced practice nurses. Currently, I provide only telehealth services at this time but in-person in the near future.

*disclaimer- at this time I am unable to assist in those seeking controlled medications (stimulants/benzodiazepine).

With all the possible stressors in life, it can sometimes be difficult to know what is keeping us from being the best version of ourselves. In my practice, we will identify what is working and explore possible areas for change. No matter your struggles, the goal will be to help you identify and build on your strengths and become the person you aspire to be. My first goal is to create a supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood. We will focus on your unique lived experiences, including how both personal and social factors can influence the ways you live and grow in the world.

Our life experiences affect all of us in unique ways. Many people struggle to integrate what has happened to them in a way that allows them to feel comfortable in their own bodies and have meaningful relationships with others. If you feel stuck with overwhelming emotions or unhelpful patterns, we can work together to get you unstuck.

Whether you are dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, couples issues, or addiction; I can help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping people. I have worked professionally in outpatient behavioral health settings, residential treatment centers, and Hospice. Additionally, I have trained hundreds of other professionals to assist people with their mental health needs.

I have a great deal of experience in trauma informed approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and other modalities. I am trained in EMDR; and my recent professional interests include Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing. Life is not one size fits all and neither is effective treatment. Together we will find the right approach for you. I am looking forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals and become a happier, more fulfilled person!

Hello!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eighteen years of experience supporting individuals through challenging times. My clinical practice is shaped by a diverse background in teaching, mental health counseling, community-based social work, domestic violence consulting, and family case planning within the Family Treatment Rehabilitation program. Throughout my career, I have worked with at-risk children and adolescents, parents, families affected by mental health issues, survivors of intimate partner violence, and the geriatric population. I love working with a wide range of groups, and I find it especially rewarding to focus on empowering my clients.

To maintain personal balance and stay inspired outside of my career, I fill my free time with nature walks, travel, cultural events, and my morning yoga routine.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience working with adolescents and adults. I received my master’s degree in social work from Columbia University, and my practice is guided by the belief that life experience—our struggles, transitions, and personal growth—plays a vital role in helping clients navigate their own challenges. I bring both clinical expertise and grounded, real-world understanding to the therapeutic relationship.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 40 years of clinical experience. My career has been dedicated to serving marginalized communities and individuals grappling with co-occurring disorders, depression, and anxiety. I am a Big Black Beautiful Bohemian Bougie Buddhist Butch, and I bring that entire authentic self to our work. I believe in talk therapy as a tool for political and personal warfare—an act of self-preservation that allows you to thrive despite societal obstacles.

I believe in empowering my clients by fostering self-compassion and reclaiming personal agency. If you are looking for a tailored approach that respects your story, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.
