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 believe we are never too old to learn and so after extensive training and a professional career as an actor, I launched a "second career," as a therapist. 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 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 ingredient necessary for change is hope. So I will make sure you are encouraged, as well as challenged. 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.
