Great to meet you!

Everyone can benefit from therapy while navigating stressors, transitions and everyday worries. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 30 years, I am passionate about helping people find purpose and fulfillment in their lives.

I received my master’s degree from New York University School of Social Work. I also have post graduate training in Child and Adolescent Therapy from Fordham University.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a variety of treatment modalities such as Ego Supportive Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and mindfulness practices. I work with children, adolescents and adults.

What you can expect from me

I view the therapeutic process as a partnership. I begin where the client is and move at a pace that is comfortable. Respect for every client is essential to me and I value taking time to build trust. I encourage the people I work with to challenge themselves and to set goals in areas where they feel stuck. My mission is to help people move towards a satisfying life free of emotional pain and filled with personal growth.
