Hey! I'm Shay and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York , Florida, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina and I specialize in anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I was born and raised in NYC. I serve individuals and couples between the ages of 18-60 who struggle with communication skills, boundary settings, family and relationship challenges among other challenges who are ready and willing to begin their healing journey. I work with people who feel stuck in their own mind—overthinking, second-guessing, or constantly on edge. If you’re dealing with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or OCD patterns, you might already know how exhausting it can be to try to “logic” your way out of it and still feel out of control. That’s where we take a different approach. I specialize in treating anxiety and OCD using evidence-based approaches like ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), helping you gradually face fears in a way that actually reduces their power over time. I also work with high-functioning professionals and military members who are used to pushing through—but are now feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or disconnected. My style is direct, supportive, and real. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods—I’ll help you understand what’s happening and give you tools that actually make a difference. If you’re ready to feel more in control and less stuck, we can start there.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, I will ask questions about your life to get to know you better before diving into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
With over 10 years in the field, I have developed skills to create a comfortable and judge-free space that assist us in narrowing down the challenges and identifying effective goals.
I work with high-functioning adults, professionals, and navigating anxiety, OCD, burnout, relationship stress, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients appear successful externally while struggling internally with stress, perfectionism, or feeling stuck. I provide a supportive, collaborative space focused on insight, practical coping tools, emotional healing, and meaningful long-term change.

I felt very heard and held by Shay. You could tell she was working with me, and not a formula she had in mind
