After many years working in theater and design, I discovered my calling as a psychotherapist. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, trauma-focused therapy, mindfulness and self-compassion. Personally, I am warm, open and affirming.

I work in private and group practices, providing individual and couples therapy to adults with a wide range of issues, backgrounds and identities. I also provide clinical supervision. My past experience includes work in a mental health clinic, treating survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence in a hospital setting, and counseling homebound Holocaust survivors.

I have a master’s degree in social work and 3 years of post-graduate training and certificates in:

• Psychodynamic Therapy from the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy;

• Integrative Trauma Studies from the National Institute for the Psychotherapies; and

• EMDR from the Agate Institute.

I also have training in couples therapy from Adelphi University’s post-graduate program.

In 2018, I won the Wexler Award for Outstanding Research in Applied Psychology from the 30th Greater New York Conference on Behavioral Research for my unpublished manuscript, titled Caregiving for a Family Member with Serious Mental Illness -- Impacts and Interventions: A Literature Review.
