Great to meet you!

I obtained my MSW at Hunter College in NY. I am licensed in both New York and DC. My clinical training consists of extensive experience with children, teens, families and young adults in the Greater New York City area. I treat clients experiencing anxiety, depression, family conflict, interpersonal problems and behavioral problems.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I like to take a client-centered, holistic and eclectic approach to therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

Together we will develop treatment goals and a plan to work through the areas of concern that brought you to therapy. You will have gained the necessary insight and skills to increase optimal mental wellness.
