I am an Ivy league educated licensed social worker with over ten years of experience in mental and behavioral health. I hold an LCSW in New York, New Jersey, and Florida with expertise in strengths-based therapeutic work with children and adults. I specialize in clinical practice among diverse populations experiencing co-occurring mental disorders, PTSD, trauma and substance abuse.
I have worked in multi-cultural, gender, age and ethnically dynamic settings addressing individuals with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD/Trauma, Mood and Personality Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder as well as those experiencing life transitions & challenges in interpersonal relationships.
A unique strength is my experience helping both men, women and children to overcome the pain of emotional and sexual abuse including the related trauma it causes. I value the importance of fostering a healthy therapeutic environment in which empathy, compassion and understanding are always present.
In light of Covid, I am currently accepting new patients virtually and have a standing waitlist for in-person sessions.
