Great to meet you!

Alright, I guess this is where I have to talk about myself which is not something that comes natural to me. So without giving you my resume, know that I'm a highly skilled, life experienced LCSW practicing with over 20 years of training in adolescent, adult, and conjoint parent-child psychotherapy. All services are based on evidence-based practice, an eye for emphasis on being realistic, and human. To me, nothing equates the ability to assist in healing emotional pain. Being a catalyst for positive growth motivates me, I enjoy learning from my greatest teachers, my clients and clinical staff.

My approach to therapy

I am a trauma therapist and clinical supervisor with subspecialty training expertise in Disordered Eating, mild - moderate Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Depressive, Anxiety disorders and more. I practice in both the States of New York and New Jersey.

What you can expect from me

All services are based on Trauma Informed Care principals regardless of diagnosis or symptoms. This way compassion is the core in the manner through which my treatment methods and strategies are delivered. I emphasize creating an effective process where you can just be. Join me for the safest space you will ever encounter!
