Credentials

I’m a licensed therapist in New York and New Jersey with an MSW from New York University.

I began my career over twenty years ago at Bellevue Hospital’s E.R., inpatient services, and the Men’s Shelter on 30th Street.

Currently, I offer therapy in New York and New Jersey.
I draw heavily from a psychodynamic background and integrate dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and a wide array of mindfulness practices.

I believe childhood development plays a crucial role in current relationships, and I help my clients become aware of patterns and habits that prevent them from resolving conflict. While my style is direct, clients describe me as “on point” and compassionate. I bring my authentic self to therapy sessions.

My clients tend to be purpose-driven, gifted women who are sensitive to the workings of their inner and outer lives and seek deeper work. They come to therapy to reduce negative thinking, career stress, relationship challenges, dating anxiety, thought spirals, internal conflict, anxiety, stress, depression, family conflict, social anxiety, and other interpersonal concerns.
