PTSD, Trauma, ADD/ADHD, Anger Management,

Empowering, Holistic, Warm

Accepts Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield New York, Cigna,

It has always been my passion to support others through life’s challenges and to create a space where people feel seen, heard, understood, and respected. As a multiracial woman, wife, mother, and woman of color, I understand that our identities, families, cultures, and life experiences can deeply influence how we navigate relationships, stress, transitions, and emotional well-being.

With over 13 years of experience in mental health, I have worked with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the emotional demands of everyday life. I recognize that prioritizing your mental health can sometimes feel difficult when you are balancing the needs of family, work, relationships, and other responsibilities.

Therapy is an opportunity to pause, reflect, heal, and reconnect with yourself. You deserve to give your mental and emotional well-being the same attention you give to your physical health. Taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult, but you do not have to navigate it alone.

I invite you to take that first step toward greater self-awareness, healing, and peace by reaching out for a session.

Great to meet you. My name is Beth , I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including people with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic medical conditions, Substance Use, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, and relationship problems.

I very much like to utilize an educational, interactive, positive and holistic approach to therapy. I think it is important to find balance and harmony in your life and it starts with improving self-reflection, self-esteem and proactive self-care. I take a person centered approach, allowing you to take charge of your goals for health.

Therapeutic Rapport building is what we will establish and I want to hear your story and really get to know you.

I received my education and trainings through SUNY Stony Brook, Pratt Institute and the CHA in affiliation with Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry. I also have additional trainings through SUNY Albany and John Hopkins University School of Public Health. I provide office services and TeleHealth. I do not prescribe medication‘s. I use a variety of evidence based practices and treatment methods and modalities, and a full psychological history is captured and analyzed. At times I also utilize psychological testing and collateral contacts for further exploration and understanding to best treat your symptoms and needs.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


Attention, impulse control, and trauma-related issues are often misunderstood, stigmatized, and poorly treated. With time and treatment, patients who are affected learn to recognize and compensate for their symptoms. Self-acceptance brings appreciation for their own energy, strengths, and resilience. Many continue to exciting lives of high achievement and satisfaction. It is my privilege to accompany you on this journey.
