Through my easygoing and collaborative style I strive to provide an open, comfortable environment in order to help adults and adolescents identify problem areas, find manageable coping strategies, resolve past issues that may impact current functioning, and pinpoint effective, sustainable solutions to deal with life's daily challenges. I have a strong background in helping clients successfully work through family of origin issues, relationship issues, life-stage transitions, depression, anxiety, and career struggles to name a few. 

 

I earned a Masters in Social Work from Fordham University in 2011, with a specialization in clinical social work. I continued my training at community mental health agencies where I worked with adolescents and adults. Simultaneously, I trained at The National Institute for the Psychotherapies and The William Alanson White Institute where I received certificates in psychoanalysis, treatment of trauma, and working with eating disorders, compulsions & addictions. Additionally, I have completed EMDRIA approved basic training in EMDR with the Parnell Institute. 

 

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I had a career in the film and television world (behind the camera) and thus have a passion for working with people in creative careers. Additionally, I understand the demands of an erratic professional schedule.

 

I enjoy exploring the mysteries of the human condition and welcome the opportunity to help you confront your joys and pains, feel understood, and find what makes you feel safe, strong, and content.
