Whether you are experiencing anxiety or depression or have problems that are relational, career, or family-oriented, we will create a treatment plan to meet your needs. I am skilled at working with women and men seeking guidance along parenting paths, life transitions, or exploring relationship issues, including marital, premarital, family conflict, and career and workplace difficulties.

Therapy is about change and self-awareness. My approach is strengths-based and empathic, which means I will help you build upon your strengths to create the desired changes. I aim to understand and address your past experiences, current situation, and future goals. We will work together towards creating permanent and lasting change.

I am a New York City-based psychotherapist offering teletherapy throughout New York State. My clinical training occurred in community outpatient mental health centers, where I provided individual and group psychotherapy to adults. In addition, I have facilitated anger management groups and developed a new curriculum for parenting groups. 

 

Before following my passion for mental health, I worked for 15 years in the corporate sector as a buyer and garment producer for national retail companies. I live in NYC with my husband, two teenage sons, and two rescue dogs. My corporate background, combined with my experience in motherhood, gives me a keen personal understanding of career-related and parenting-related issues. I am particularly informed by how the demands of these roles intersect. 

 

I received my Master's in Social Work from New York University (NYU), a Post-master's certificate from NYU in Advanced Assessment and Diagnosis, and a BA in Communications Studies from the University of Rhode Island.
