Over twenty years ago, during my training and work at Bellevue Hospital in New York City, I worked directly in psychiatric emergency and inpatient settings, as well as in programs serving the homeless. In these high-acuity environments, I was involved in crisis intervention, stabilization, and treatment planning for individuals experiencing acute psychiatric and traumatic events.
My clinical experience also includes facilitating inpatient therapy groups and family therapy, coordinating care across treatment settings, supporting bereaved parents in the NICU, and supervising new clinicians on risk management and treatment delivery.
Today, my work focuses on career professionals, lawyers, physicians, and creatives who function at a high level while managing significant internal pressure. I have developed and implemented a burnout recovery approach that helps professional women restore balance and functioning without compromising their work or performance.
