HIP | Health Plan of New York Therapists in Elmhurst, NY
As a Registered Nurse turned therapist, I help young adults who feel stuck and are ready to finally let go of comparison, overthinking, & the pressures of constantly feeling behind in life. My approach helps you get to the root of your anxiety, depression, or procrastination. Together we'll work to build confidence, improve communication skills, strengthen relationships, manage work stress, and navigate big life changes. In addition to self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and ADHD, many of my clients are students or young professionals in healthcare or other high-stress industries.

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges and much more. A lot of us have felt misunderstood, including me. Many feel stuck in patterns shaped by childhood experiences or ongoing relational dynamics where we struggle to communicate, set boundaries, or be ourselves.
I want you to be yourself. I want you to feel loved and to love yourself. I want you to smile and laugh again, to reclaim joy and self‑compassion. Most of all, I want you to know you don’t need to feel ashamed of who you are— you deserve to feel seen, valued, and supported as you heal and grow.

Healing comes in many guises. We can heal from a cut hand with a band aid, we can heal from a broken bone by setting it and isolating it in a cast, but when we heal from hurting feelings and trauma, we're not as savvy on how to heal this. Sometimes, when we're traumatized, we don't know what to do to feel better.

LET'S TALK. Ever since psychotherapy (the talking cure) was conceived over 100 years ago it has grown and evolved. But one thing remains constant: talking with someone about the things that bother you, in a safe and empathic environment is curative. It is the first step to changing the way you think, feel and act. In more than 20 years of practice, I have studied and mastered various techniques of psychotherapy (cognitive behavioral, relational, psychodynamic) and will utilize these in our work together.

People most often contact me when a critical life event has occurred. They may be feeling anxious or depressed, or have become newly aware of a need to make changes in the way they handle their relationships, emotions, and self-esteem. For some, this is the beginning of a long journey of self-exploration. Others prefer to seek new, more effective tools to address the immediate situation. I think that a good clinician should be able to tailor the treatment to fit the needs and preferences of the client. Too often it is the other way around.
