ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in New York

Welcome!

Mental well-being is a top priority because it is the key that opens the door to a happy, healthy, and stable life. Life can be full of unpredictable circumstances and events that leave us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed, anxious, or depressed. Experiencing one, or all, of these starts to negatively impact critical areas such as sleep, work, self-motivation, personal relationships, or lead us to start engage in unhealthy outlets. It also makes us feel all alone and emotionally trapped. Reaching out for help can initially feel uneasy and it is a difficult task, but be proud of yourself that you are taking that first step! I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with clients aged 13 to 75 with a main focus on working for you, your needs, and how to achieve your goals to live a happy, healthy, and stable life. Specialty areas include anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, Acute and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, relationships, couples/marital counseling, sexual issues, employees of law enforcement agencies, and forensic based testing.

You should know that I truly see you — not just your symptoms or diagnosis. Many clients come to me feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck — often after feeling unheard or dismissed by other providers. My goal is to understand the full picture — your goals, challenges, and values — and create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your care. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other psychiatric concerns.

I combine evidence-based psychiatry with a holistic, personal touch. Care with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and never rushed. I don’t push medications or rely on quick fixes — I work with you to find clarity, balance, and lasting relief through treatment that fits your life.

I’m a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience working in hospitals, residential treatment centers, outpatient clinics, and school settings. I work with adolescents and adults, offering both short- and long-term psychotherapy. I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual abuse or assault, questions related to sexual orientation and gender identity, and personality-related challenges.

After 18 years as a psychologist, working with adults and couples, I have the experience and skills to build a treatment program that fits your needs, and to keep the therapy feeling safe and comfortable. I have an open-minded, sensitive, and collaborative approach to therapy.

I am here to partner with you as you examine your life and look for meaning, direction, and greater joy. My background is in family systems and cognitive behavioral therapy. I am most strongly aligned with Positive Psychology, which helps us build resilience to cope with life's challenges and improve relationships.

I find it so rewarding to participate in the healing process and help others accomplish goals and gain mastery over their inner and outer worlds.

I am curious to hear your story!
