I am a licensed LCSW in New York and New Jersey. Clients come to me feeling unsure and insecure, repeating the same frustrating patterns over and over again, and afraid to let go of what’s not working. Our work together helps them tame that feeling of being overwhelmed, ditch old and unhealthy cycles, and finally move forward on the life path that they want. I am a graduate of the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, and I have also completed additional advanced clinical training through the Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Study Center and the Embody Lab. My specialties include CPTSD, Bipolar Disorder, psychosis, severe depression, religious trauma, and navigating complicated family dynamics.

Therapy is a challenging experience.

I have extensive experience in crisis intervention and helping people to reach a point of stasis after an event that disrupts their life: a relationship break up, a job loss, a traumatic event, or other life transition.

With 6 years’ experience working in the hospital setting, 3 years on a Substance Use Disorder Unit, 2 years on the Borderline Personality Disorder Unit, and 1 year working on a Young Adult Mood Disorder Unit. I see the therapeutic relationship as a partnership and my practice attitude is collaborative, warm and empathic.
