Master Social Worker, LMSW
I specialize in helping people struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, interpersonal issues at home, work and school, or those trying to break free of unhelpful patterns. As a former lawyer, I understand the unique demands, stress, and expectations many lawyers, students, executives, and high-level professionals experience, including perfectionism, imposter syndrome, relationship struggles, and difficulty achieving a work-life balance. My life experience and career as a large NYC firm lawyer combined with my empathy and compassion enable me to be your teammate to help you achieve your goals. Together, we can explore how your life experiences impact your current relationships and patterns in order to help you live fully and authentically.
