I am a bilingual board certified nurse practitioner with a specialty in psychiatry. I began working in psychiatry in 2012 as a nurse and have been practicing as a nurse practitioner since 2017. My work background includes treating clients in acute hospital settings throughout top hospitals in NYC and long term in outpatient settings. I have worked with clients as young as 5 years old and I am trained to see clients throughout the lifespan.
Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, work trauma, or struggling to adjust to changes in life? I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor and I have substantial experience working with first responders, veterans and active military, college students, and people struggling to adjust to major life transitions. I take a collaborative approach with my clients and work together on issues and problems that have a negative impact on the person. I strive to help my clients lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life. My goal is to help the client gain skills to navigate through life more efficiently, long after counseling has completed. I provide a safe and judgment free space for my clients so they can feel seen and heard while being their authentic self. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, person-focused, and solution focused approach. My hours are currently evenings only.
I am an LCSW and specialize in infertility, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-confidence, coping skills and stress/anger management, and life transitions.

In addition, I provide consultations for intended patents, and evaluations for gestational carriers and egg/sperm donors.
I have been a social worker practicing psychotherapy for 25 years. I have enjoyed working with a variety of people with many different experiences, both in clinic settings and in private practice. For the past 10 years I have been the director of an outpatient substance abuse treatment clinic. I enjoy helping people work through past trauma and find a way forward. I believe that therapy can benefit anyone who is curious about themselves and wants to improve their lives.
I believe therapy can provide that for those who are looking to work towards reaching their life's goals. Whether you want to address mental health concerns, past trauma or strategies to cope with life transitions, I help my clients to identify barriers in their thought patterns and present tools to build upon their resiliency.

Life is about change and some changes are more difficult to navigate than others. When we are stressed, anxious or depressed, it is a sign that our lives are out of balance. My focus is on providing a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental and compassionate space for adults, couples, and families to share their experiences and to help navigate through some more difficult life changes [positive or negative] to create more balance in your life. I have at least 4 years of experience in working with a wide range of people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, as well as symptoms of severe and persistent mental illness. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make changes to improve their lives, find purpose, and meaningful fulfillment. I would encourage you to create the skills for effective coping mechanisms for overall wellness. I can collaborate with psychiatrists, primary care physicians, social service agencies and will accept most health insurances. Deciding to engage in therapy and choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. Finding a therapist whose personality and style is a good fit with yours is important. More importantly, I see YOU as the expert in your life with unique values, needs and issues. I look forward to helping you to more effectively pursue your values and explore what keeps you from being the best you ever.
It is my belief that each of us has the ability to find our best self. With guidance, insight and a desire to move forward we can obtain optimal emotional, spiritual and mental health. My practice encompasses supportive exploration and accomplishment of one's identified goal(s) with compassion, intuition and an eclectic blend of therapy methods. Much of my work is with individuals who are experiencing issues related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma and substance abuse. With couples and families the work is focused upon exploring, identifying and addressing issues surrounding poor communication, trust and boundaries.
We all face challenging feelings, these feelings are normal; however, sometimes we need to develop the right tools to deal with them in a healthy way. I have a passion for mental health and supporting those on their journey to wellness. I integrate mental, physical, and spiritual health to help clients achieve overall wellness.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker and I work with older teenagers and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I have a genuine understanding of — and sensitivity toward — the Orthodox Jewish community and the specific pressures, expectations, and experiences that come with that world. Whether it's the weight of community standards, a difficult family dynamic, identity questions, or something you haven't been able to talk about with anyone in your circle, you don't have to figure it out alone. I want to be honest about who I work best with: clients who are ready to do meaningful inner work and are looking for real change — not just crisis management.
