Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Iam a New York , New Jersey, North Carolina, Alabama , and Texas State Licensed Clinical Social Worker , Human and Organizational Psychologist, and Nationally Certified EMT. I received my BA in Psychology from The City College of New York, my MSW from The State University of New York at Stony Brook, and my PsyD from Touro University Worldwide. I have over 20 years of experience in mental health counseling.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Army Veteran with extensive experience supporting adults through a wide range of mental health and life challenges. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, grief, and major life transitions.

I have experience working with both civilian and Veteran populations and understand the unique pressures that can come with demanding careers, family responsibilities, military service, and periods of personal change. My focus is on helping clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and practical strategies that support long-term growth and well-being.

I am a warm, open-minded, and compassionate clinician who values collaboration and respect in every session. I provide both talk therapy and medication management, tailoring care to each person’s unique needs and goals. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with a supportive, client-centered style, helping you navigate challenges while building resilience, personal strengths, and a sense of meaning in your life.

I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, ask questions about treatment, and feel empowered to make choices that support your mental health. Whether you’re seeking therapy, medication support, or both, I partner with you to develop a plan that works for your life, pace, and values.

I specialize in working with high-risk clients, individuals with personality disorders and people with complex mental health histories. Rooted in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients understand the patterns that may be keeping them stuck while building practical tools to manage emotions, tolerate distress, and create a life worth living. I show up with my most authentic self which I believe allows my clients to do the same. My practice is for those who want to create meaningful change in their lives.
