I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in the treatment of children, teens, adults. I opened my practice in New Jersey after working in NYC in clinical and leadership positions. The areas of ADHD, ODD, RAD, Depression, Anxiety, self esteem, gender identity, adoption, PTSD and marital discord are some of the issues I provide psychotherapy. I also treat Compassion Fatigue that occurs with First Responders, as well as, Bereavement and Trauma. I use Play Therapy with young children while using art and other modalities with teens. Adult therapy is goal oriented often using CBT as well.
I have worked with children, teens, adults and families for over 30 years. I provide expert clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies to resolve the issues you are contending with as an individual, a parent or family. I work with parents to help understand their child developmentally so more effective strategies and coping skills can be implemented.
I am a compassionate yet goal oriented clinician who enjoys working with clients of all races. I have a culturally diverse practice and invite you to contact me to discuss the reasons why you are seeking therapy. While I understand that this is not always an easy step, we will work together to sort things out until your goals and issues are resolved.
