Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
In-Person & Online
New York, NY

Psychiatry, at its best, treats the whole person, not just a set of symptoms. As a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I bring a modern, integrative lens to medication management, combining advanced psychopharmacology with evidence-based lifestyle interventions to help you find lasting stability. My practice centers on adults and young professionals navigating some of life's most demanding transitions: career changes, burnout, grief and loss, and mood and anxiety disorders that can make even ordinary days feel unmanageable. I also have a deep commitment to serving veterans and healthcare workers, two populations I understand carry their own particular weight and complexity. Whatever brings you here, you can expect care that is thorough, individualized, and rooted in respect. I believe the relationship between patient and clinician matters as much as any prescription, and I'm here to be a steady, empathetic, and committed partner. I look forward to supporting you as you navigate life's challenges, reclaim your sense of balance, and move toward meaningful healing. What drives this work, for me, is a genuine belief that healing requires treating the whole person — biology, life experience, and personal goals all in conversation with one another. That belief shapes everything about how I practice. You are an active partner in your care, not a passive recipient of it. Sessions are thorough and collaborative by design, as I take time to listen to your needs and celebrate your victories, allowing me to tailor every treatment plan to your unique circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all framework. Advanced psychopharmacology is a core part of my practice, and I pair it with a supportive, solution-focused approach to help you move toward symptom stability, emotional resilience, and a clearer sense of direction. Patient autonomy matters deeply to me, which is why my approach is grounded and practical, empowering you in your own healing and long-term mental resilience. I'm here to collaborate and help you make informed decisions about your care, because the best outcomes happen when we're building something together. My path to psychiatry began in a Burn Unit, where I spent years caring for patients navigating severe, life-altering physical trauma. That work taught me something I carry into every session today: true recovery requires addressing the mind just as thoroughly as the body. The two cannot be separated. Witnessing that reality firsthand sparked my commitment to becoming a psychiatric clinician and deepened my passion for working alongside trauma survivors. The thoroughness, empathy, and dedication that shaped my early nursing practice came with me into this work, and continue to guide the care I bring to you. When I'm not working, I'm usually spending time with the people I care about, exploring whatever the local food scene has to offer, watching a good movie, or planning the next trip somewhere new. Music has always been part of my life — I play guitar — and I stay active through regular exercise.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

New York, NY

If a difficult life transition has left you feeling anxious or depressed, I can help you find your way through it. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) specializing in anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, communication, PTSD, and life transitions for patients ages sixteen and older. A foundation of my practice is my belief in integrity, which helps me be an honest partner in your healing journey. I look forward to building a genuine therapeutic relationship with you. Grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), my sessions are direct, warm, and inquisitive while remaining personalized to your unique story. I'm passionate about taking this healing journey with you, riding shotgun as we maneuver the road ahead together. Along the way, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment that incorporates not only CBT but also Motivational Interviewing to help you identify big emotions and your personal strengths. I was led to this path as a child growing up in a rough neighborhood, where I was, and still am, a natural empath. Helping others felt like the obvious path, and it eventually led me to social work, where I worked with people from many different backgrounds and age groups. Running, biking, and hitting the gym keep me active, and when I'm not moving, you'll probably find me writing screenplays, reading, or listening to music. I'm always up for a video game or an old-school wrestling match, and I love spending time with friends and family.

College is hard enough already - you don't need to let past experiences make it even harder. If you can't stop thinking about certain memories, or people, or pain that you have suffered, you might be burdened by trauma. You might also feel unsafe in particular places, or even in your own body. Feeling this way on a day to day basis is exhausting. Know that you can heal from the discomfort that you are experiencing right now. We can work together to help you feel more at ease on a day-to-day basis. Then, when you're ready, we can dive a little deeper into understanding what happened to you. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey of growth, healing, and self-love.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
In-Person & Online
New York, NY

Board-certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, stress, and times when they simply don't feel like themselves. I especially connect with people who are curious about themselves and want to understand not only what they're feeling, but what may be contributing to it. You may be looking for relief from symptoms, support with medication, or a space to better understand patterns that keep showing up in your life. Whatever brings you here, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want to live. I know that reaching out for mental health care can feel vulnerable, especially when you're trying to find someone you can trust and feel comfortable talking to. Good care, I believe, starts with feeling heard, respected, and understood as a whole person. Working together, my hope is to be someone you can talk to openly as we make sense of what's going on and figure out what will genuinely help, so you can feel better, understand yourself more deeply, and move toward a life that feels healthier and more fulfilling. I believe mental health is deeply connected to how we live, feel, and function in our everyday lives. Along with medication management, I like to look at the bigger picture, including sleep, nutrition, movement, physical and metabolic health, relationships, and the experiences that have shaped you. I'm particularly interested in nutritional psychiatry and the connection between physical and emotional well-being, and also draw from psychodynamic and insight-oriented approaches to help uncover patterns that may be influencing how you feel or relate to others. Most importantly, I want our work to feel useful and personal to you, not like a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. With me, you'll find warmth, curiosity, and an open-minded, nonjudgmental space to be yourself. I ask questions, listen closely, and genuinely want to understand what life looks like from your perspective, while also valuing shared decision-making so you understand the "why" behind your treatment and feel comfortable asking questions along the way. My style is thoughtful but practical, and we'll work together to find an approach that fits your needs, values, and goals. My path to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner grew from my nursing background and a longstanding curiosity about people — what shapes us, how our experiences affect us, and what helps us heal and grow. Working in acute and inpatient settings, including during the height of the pandemic, deepened my understanding of how closely our mental and physical health are connected. Those experiences shaped my belief that we can't meaningfully care for one while ignoring the other, and strengthened my commitment to providing thoughtful, whole-person psychiatric care. Outside of work, I'm a competitive endurance runner and lifelong sports enthusiast. Beyond that, I love being outdoors, exploring NYC, traveling, and trying new foods. I'm endlessly curious and enjoy reading and learning about psychology, nutrition, metabolic health, exercise physiology, and the latest science on health and human performance.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in individual and couples’ therapy and maintain a full-time private practice in the financial district of Manhattan. After receiving my masters in mental health counseling from CUNY Brooklyn College I continued my training at The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) focusing on psychoanalytic theory and practice. I am currently working as a high-risk screener as well as a therapist for the LGBTQ+ affirmative treatment division within ICP. In addition to private practice work, I am conducting research identifying predictive factors for people leaving Orthodox Judaism and have presented at conferences on the topic of disaffiliation within Orthodox Judaism. I am currently pursuing my PhD at Adelphi University School of Social Work. My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic in nature. In my practice I take the time to listen closely to your needs and tailor our sessions to meet you where you currently are. Through our work together we will move towards greater understanding of your past and its impact on your life today, this depth of work allows for greater self acceptance and more control over the decisions you make in your life. Our sessions will be spent working to increase your self awareness while strengthening your capacity to fully engage with the world. Together we will expand your window of tolerance by unpacking the feelings and thoughts that bring you discomfort, leading to a more authentic and comprehensive experience of yourself.

When you’re ready to seek support, I am here to help you take the first step. As a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) with an eclectic approach, I work with emerging adults, bicultural individuals, and those dealing with life transitions navigate stress and anxiety, self-esteem issues, identity issues, academic struggles, relationship problems, and making sense of past experiences. I aim to create space for you to process emotions and thoughts about past experiences and take away core strengths and values that empower you in your future life. My approach starts with collaboration and pulls from a relationship of mutual respect and trust to engender your lasting growth and self-discovery. In our time together, you can expect a dynamic and non-judgmental environment where we change approaches to fit your needs and work to get closer to emotional truths. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic modalities, and other therapeutic approaches to help you get to the roots of your beliefs and behaviors. At all times, I believe in honesty and transparency, helping me to connect warmly and be present to you. I look forward to helping you find acceptance and balance throughout our sessions. My experience as a bicultural person navigating corporate and academic spaces drove me to become a therapist who helps individuals understand their values and identities separate from judgements of those around them. After witnessing members of my community become increasingly disconnected from themselves, I became deeply committed to providing a validating and respectful processing space on the road to each person's journey of self-actualization. When I’m not working, I love indulging in my hobbies – getting lost in a good book, playing board games, and exploring new cuisines!

We will collaborate to your unique strengths, using an eclectic approach. I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist in the state of New York and received my Master's Degree from New York University in drama therapy.

I worked at the School of Visual Arts as a psychotherapist and for 9 years worked at Bellevue Hospital in the department of psychiatry. I utilize empirically supported and embodied creative approaches to psychotherapy including Attachment Focused EMDR (completed levels 1 -3).

I am fortunate to have worked with individuals from many continents. I strive to be aware of the power and privilege I have in the therapy space. I invite dialogue and play for exploring issues of cultural identity, race, class, trauma and abuse of power.
