You are the expert of your own experience and know best what supports you and what may no longer be serving you. In our work together, I will seek to highlight and validate how the social environment and systems have impacted your relationship with yourself and others, and to use the therapy space as an opportunity to dismantle hierarchies. To do this, I use an integrated, person-centered psychodynamic approach grounded in compassion. This includes using concepts from Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatics, mindfulness and analysis. I identify as queer and will bring a queer lens to our work together by asking how you have constructed meaning of your world, by recognizing your strengths and by supporting you in developing new insight. I am a Licensed Master of Social Work, an artist and an educator. I have experience working with people in creative fields, navigating their gender and sexual identities, anxiety, depression, life and career transitions and higher education.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Massapequa, NY

Sometimes life's challenges require additional tools. I am a board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master's Degree from Molloy University. I have over a decade of experience in this field and over two decades as a Nurse Practitioner in Adult Health. As a teammate in your wellness journey, I work closely with your counselor and health care providers to optimize mental and physical health outcomes. I see you as a whole person and incorporate your whole social, physical, and emotional well-being into our plan to guide you to wellness. Medication and psychotherapeutic modalities are utilized as needed to help you achieve your goals. Patients should be ages 18+, in the active care of a Primary Care Provider, and willing to utilize the patient portal. Unfortunately, I do not participate with Medicare or Medicaid even if it is managed by one of the plans listed at this time.

Sometimes we can feel stressed and lost with relationships, our families, and ourselves. We all need someone to listen to up. You might wish you could improve your sex life in your romantic relationships or change your family and relationships interactions. Maybe you want to live a calm and peaceful life and overcome past traumas that don't let you move on. Replaying your history over and over, wishing things were different. It might be the way you think and treat yourself that brought you here. I am LCSW, a certified sex & relationship therapist (AASECT), and EMDR certified who helps clients to explore their sexuality and relationships and find the right place for them. My sex and relationship approach addresses issues such as intimacy, parenting issues, broken trust, sexual identity exploration, sex education, sexual dysfunction, vaginismus and pain disorders, open relationships, passion, sex addiction, sexual trauma, pregnancy, and postpartum depression, changes in the family, relationships and more. I am working virtually with adults, older adults, individuals, families, couples, the LGBTQIA+ community, kink, ENM, open relationships, and poly informed.

“Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.” Healing from trauma is a journey; a journey I would be honored to be on with you. My experience is working with children, adolescents and young adults who may have suffered from a trauma in their life, such as physical, sexual or emotional abuse, domestic violence, chronic illnesses, etc. I work with young adults who struggle with depression, anxiety and transitions in their lives. When working with adolescents and young adults it is also important to incorporate the family in the journey of healing. My approach is holistic with a specialization of trauma. I believe in meeting each client where they are every time they walk through my door. I believe in seeing a person as a whole and finding strengths in every situation. I am passionate about helping clients take control of their lives and feeling empowered. For additional information, please contact me via phone or email. I look forward to talking with you soon!

You are not broken — you are human. And being human means facing change, pressure, and uncertainty — things that can feel especially heavy during college. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, questioning who you are or what’s next, or trying to balance school, family, and your own expectations. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and begin again — with support and intention. In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, understanding space where you can show up just as you are — no need to have it all together. My role isn’t to fix you, but to walk beside you. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, reconnect you with your strengths, and find new ways forward that feel true to who you are. Every student’s story is different. That’s why I don’t believe in one “right” way to do therapy. Our work will be shaped by your needs, your culture, and your goals. Whether you’re coping with stress, adjusting to college life, dealing with family or relationship challenges, or trying to rediscover your sense of purpose, we’ll move at your pace. A big part of our work will be exploring three things: WHY – Why are you seeking change? PURPOSE – What gives your life meaning? PRIORITIES – What matters most to you right now? When we understand your why, purpose, and priorities, therapy becomes more than just talking — it becomes growth. Wherever you are in your process, you don’t have to walk it alone. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you as you find your way forward.

My client centered approach integrates culturally informed and evidenced based treatment practices to address your specific needs.

If you’re ready to begin the journey of self-discovery and healing, I’d be honored to work with you.

We all hit speed bumps in the road we call life. It is okay to require assistance getting over these bumps and back on track. That is what I am here for. I enjoy helping clients who need assistance reaching a healthier emotional life. I always tell my clients: my goal is to get you to the point where you tell me I'm no longer needed in your life. When that time comes, it is very bittersweet; but the goal is for my clients to be on their own and thriving. My specialty includes young adults and adults with depression, anxiety, life changes, relationship concerns, anger, and burnout. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy; specifically rational emotive behavioral therapy. My practice is telepsych, which means you get to see me in the comfort of your own space. We all know that life can be hard and the feeling of "I can't take it anymore" can arise. I provide a safe, non judgmental place for you to open up and become healthier! If it sounds like I am a good fit for you, let me help you get through the difficult times so you can continue to keep moving forward!
