About My Clients

My clients are adults, teens, couples, and families across New York who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and major life transitions. Many are state employees and their families using NYSHIP or The Empire Plan — I verify your out-of-network benefits for free and handle the billing, so you can focus on feeling better instead of paperwork. Whether you're starting therapy for the first time or returning, I offer a warm, judgment-free space and a free 15-minute consultation.

My Background and Approach

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy throughout New York State. My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and related methods to help you build real coping skills, resilience, and lasting change. Together we create a supportive space grounded in trust and respect, tailored to your goals and pace. I specialize in NYSHIP and The Empire Plan, making insured care simple by verifying your out-of-network benefits and managing billing for you. I'm currently welcoming new clients statewide and offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're the right fit.
