Great to meet you!

My expertise is in anxiety, life transitions, chronic stress and ADHD. I have been trained and train other professionals in CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and interpersonal psychotherapy. My aim is to help you make actual, measurable, behavior change. I will collaborate with you to stop avoiding the challenges in your life, without treating you like you need to be "fixed."

My approach to therapy

I love being a licensed, clinical, social worker as much today as when I started more than 30 years ago. I received my Post Masters’ training from the Martha K. Selig Institute after getting my Master’s Degree at NYU Silver School of Social Work. I have trained other clinicians for more than 25 years at NYU Silver School of Social Work, and continuing education at Rutgers, Adelphi, Stony Brook and more. I have myriad clinical certification, as well as training from Circle in the Square Theatre School, NYSSSA and Skidmore College.

What you can expect from me

I know that the key ingredients necessary for change are trust and hope. I will make sure you feel challenged to make the changes you want in your life, by ensuring you feel 'safe enough" to do so. You will leave our time together with an increased confidence in your own ability to manage your current situation and a sense of greater optimism about your future.
