Hi, I'm Jessica, LMHC. I've always been the person others come to when they need clarity, calm, and a genuine support- and that is what ultimately led me to become a therapist.

 

Before entering private practice, I worked in event planning and later as a school counselor. Although those roles looked very different, both taught me how important it is for people to feel heard, understood, and supported when life feels overwhelming. Becoming a therapist felt like a natural next step.

​

For more than 15 years, I have worked with adolescents, adults, and families in school, outpatient, day treatment, and private-practice settings. Today, I often support women and teens who are dealing with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, relationship stress, low confidence, or difficult life transitions.

​

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation—not clinical, cold, or one-sided. Clients often tell me they feel at ease with me quickly and appreciate that I am engaged, honest, and fully present in our sessions.

​

When we work together, I blend practical strategies with genuine compassion. I draw from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy to help you better understand what may be contributing to the anxiety or stress you are experiencing, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build tools that are actually useful in everyday life.

​

Therapy with me is relaxed, but it is also focused. You will have space to process what you are experiencing, while we also work toward meaningful goals. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or looking for a therapist for your teen, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and capable of moving forward.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Alfred University, a Master of Education in School Counseling from St. John’s University, and a bachelor’s degree from Syracuse University. My years working as a school counselor, combined with my experience in outpatient, day treatment, and private-practice settings, have given me a broad understanding of the challenges individuals and families can face at different stages of life.

​

I provide in-person therapy in Roslyn, NY, as well as online therapy for clients throughout New York.

​

If you are looking for a therapist who is engaged, real, and fully in your corner, I would love to connect.
