Find Telehealth Therapists Licensed in New York

I provide a warm and welcoming environment that will allow you to express yourself honestly, gain insight into your behavior, and develop the skills you need to face life's challenges. My goal is for you to always feel safe and supported. I help people with issues like chronic illness, infertility, and anxiety. These struggles are often invisible and not well-understood by others, which makes them all the more painful and isolating. When something goes wrong with your health, it can feel like your entire life has been turned upside down and it may seem like you will never feel like yourself again. I can be a support system for you as you navigate unpredictable and uncontrollable circumstances. We can also explore patterns that developed when you were very young and may now be holding you back. My approach builds on your strengths and helps you find your resilience. You don't have to do this alone.

I approach therapy through a collaborative and relational lens, working with clients to understand their challenges within the broader context of their relationships and lived experiences. Drawing from collaborative therapy and systemic sex therapy, I partner with clients to explore how family dynamics, early life experiences, and past traumas shape present-day concerns, particularly in intimacy, authenticity, and communication. Together, we uncover unconscious patterns that influence choices and relational dynamics, fostering deeper connection and self-awareness. I support individuals and partners in navigating intense symptoms of anxiety and depression, and guide them through significant life transitions—such as career shifts, divorce, or entering college—with compassion, curiosity, and a commitment to shared meaning-making.

When you walk into therapy, I want you to feel safe, welcomed, and understood exactly as you are. My role is to be there with you: listening deeply, learning your story, and helping you feel less alone. You don’t have to have it all figured out; we’ll navigate it together, at your pace. I combine evidence-based tools like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with the depth and insight of interpersonal psychodynamic work. This means we’ll focus on helping you cope with what’s happening right now, and look at patterns, relationships, and experiences that shape how you see yourself and the world. Along the way, you’ll gain skills, emotional control, clarity, and new ways of dealing with life’s challenges. People often tell me I bring warmth, compassion, and a calming presence to our sessions, along with the kind of honesty and gentle encouragement that makes it easier to make changes. My hope is that you leave therapy feeling better in the moment, and also more confident, more connected, and more hopeful about your life.

Do you want to feel greater overall satisfaction in your relationships with both yourself and others? Imagine starting and ending your day feeling confident, content, and focused. My main treatment goal is to help you acquire positive coping skills that you can take with you so that you do not need to remain in therapy forever. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with eight years of experience providing individual, family, couple, and group therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in eating disorders, depression, anxiety, self-harm, and family conflict. I have worked for a leading eating disorder treatment center in the residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care. I utilize a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I pride myself on creating a warm, supportive, safe environment where clients feel comfortable and work towards increased insight, growth, and positive change. I believe that you are the expert on your life and will work with you to set and achieve your goals. I look forward to working with you towards improving your life. Call or e-mail me today!

I’m here to support you through whatever challenges you’re facing—whether it’s healing from trauma, navigating a life transition, or managing feelings of depression and anxiety. I believe that therapy is a powerful tool for growth and healing, providing a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, gain new perspectives, and develop coping strategies that work for you. Together, we’ll work on building the tools and insights you need to achieve greater mental and emotional well-being. I specialize in a range of areas, including anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma, post-traumatic stress, sexual violence, grief and loss, coping with chronic illnesscancer, life transitions, relationship & family issues, women's and men’s health, infertility, and caregiver distress & burnout.

Psychotherapy can help end depression, anxiety, and bothersome thoughts and behaviors. It can also alleviate pain and help you enjoy life more. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Deer Park, New York, seeing clients in office and online, I specialize in helping clients discover and resolve the root cause(s) of their symptoms. I also help them understand how maladaptive thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors can keep them from achieving their goals and attaining happiness, so they can free up energy to make positive changes in their lives. Your session is time for you; it is your time to be heard.

My approach is eclectic and integrative because I believe therapy should fit the individual, not require the individual to fit a single method. I draw from psychodynamic conceptualizations, cognitive behavioral therapy (), behavioral activation, motivational interviewing, mindfulness-based, supportive, person-centered, strengths-based, and relational approaches, depending on each client’s needs and goals. I am active, practical, and collaborative in session. I listen closely, identify underlying patterns, and offer honest feedback and concrete tools clients can use in everyday life. At the same time, I take a holistic view, considering emotional well-being alongside relationships, family dynamics, physical health, routines, values, and a sense of purpose. My style is warm, intuitive, and insightful, with a playful sense of humor that helps therapy feel comfortable and human. In my work with couples and parents, I focus on communication, trust, conflict resolution, shared expectations, and becoming a stronger team. I also support men’s mental health while honoring strength and traditional values. I help men build emotional awareness and healthier relationships without treating masculinity, responsibility, discipline, or commitment as problems to overcome.

Life feels chaotic. You experience emotions more intensely than other people, and no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to find your way out of recurrent depression, chronic anxiety, and the tumult of your quickly changing, powerful emotions. More than anything, you crave calm and connection in your relationships. And yet, the closer a relationship becomes, the more chaotic things get. You just want to be able to live life on your terms. I get it. I’m passionate about helping people like you find the calm, closeness, and peace that’s been just out of reach. I do this by staying active, unrelentingly curious, and open-minded as I put my mind to work alongside yours, helping you to understand your own mind and the minds of those around you a bit more clearly. I engage you in the work of Mentalization-based Treatment (MBT), an evidence-based, effective treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) that’s been adapted for a number of other conditions, such as depression, eating disorders, and PTSD. Reaching out for help can be incredibly hard, especially if you’ve felt let down by therapy in the past. I offer all prospective new clients a free 20 minute phone consultation to help us both know if we’re a good match for working together towards meaningful change. You deserve to feel better, and change is possible even in the face of persistent mental health challenges. Take the first step towards feeling more calm and connected today. I look forward to hearing from you.

Online therapy. If you want change in your life, but you need help breaking down your goals into action items and you could use accountability to help you accomplish them, I recommend therapy. Therapy often comes with an expectation of deep introspection and emotion-focused, talk-driven sessions, but with a Cognitive-Behavioral approach, thoughts and feelings are important in the healing process. I focus on how your behavior is affecting your world, and how you can change your behavior to change the life you’re living. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, reach out to me. I love sharing what I know so that you can feel and act better in your life. We will collaborate to set goals and track improvements as they occur. I believe we all have brand new opportunities to make new choices in each moment that will improve our lives. The power to change is not dependent on our past choices but on how we decide to live in this moment. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I give a lot of advice and see myself as an educator who can use my knowledge to equip you with helpful tools. I am trained in the Gottman method and believe that conflict between partners is inevitable and that improving the frequency and quality of positive interactions is vital to long-term stability of the relationship. I also work with children and their families, especially focusing on ADHD, ODD, and anxiety. When a child is experiencing these sorts of concerns, I approach progress and resolution with the parents and child together. I believe in the goodness of children, and that setting them up for good choices is something that rests largely in the family environment. I am also an expert in ADHD evaluation and treatment. I am very thorough in my reports and recommendations. ADHD evaluation in 5 visits, $1000. Neurofeedback for anxiety, ADHD, and sportswork performance.

If you are feeling that there is an issue you just can't seem to get a handle on, recognizing you lack healthy coping skills or just feel like something is missing, solution focused therapy can help. I believe that dealing with life events, improving one's self and one's quality of life is a journey, and I am honored to be a part of that process.
