Individual therapy

I offer culturally-responsive individual therapy for adults struggling with a range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, panic attacks, depression, disordered eating, substance misuse, self-esteem issues, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I am well-versed in working with individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and provide an affirming space for all gender identities and sexual orientations.

I offer in-person sessions at my office in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, as well as the option to meet virtually via HIPAA-compliant Telehealth services.

Fees & insurance

I am not in-network with any insurance company, but am able to provide paperwork for you to submit to your insurance company if you have out-of-network benefits. It is recommended that you communicate directly with your insurance company regarding out-of-network coverage and deductibles to determine your out-of-pocket responsibility (CPT code 90834). Session fees will be discussed during our initial phone call.

Specializations

EXPOSURE-BASED TREATMENTS FOR ANXIETY

I offer cognitive-behavioral exposure-based treatment for panic, general anxiety, and phobias. These services are evidence-based approaches that include completing exercises outside of session. Learn more about exposure-based treatments here.

EXPOSURE AND RESPONSE PREVENTION FOR OCD

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is the gold standard, evidence-based treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This treatment involves graduated exposure to obsessional thoughts without engaging in compulsive anxiety-reducing behaviors. This treatment is highly collaborative and short-term, and you will be asked to complete certain exercises outside of session. Learn more about ERP here.

LGBTQIA+ individuals

Finding queer-affirming spaces can be daunting when searching for a therapist. I am honored to offer a safe and non-judgmental environment for people of all gender identities, sexual orientations and family structures. As the LGBTQ+ Veteran Care Coordinator at the Manhattan VA, I served LGBTQIA+ Veterans directly, as well as provided staff trainings and advocacy in the hospital and the wider community. I am happy to discuss my qualifications in this area further during our initial consultation.

military veterans

Throughout my clinical training and as a licensed provider, I have valued working with military Veterans, former service members and their families. Military service often comes along with unique experiences and fears of being misunderstood by civilians. I have had the privilege of working at VA hospitals in California, Boston and New York City, and welcome former service members to my private practice.
