I am a clinical social worker licensed in New York and New Jersey with many years of experience in individual therapy with adults. In my practice as a therapist, I serve clients with presenting issues of trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, communication and relationship issues. In my years of practice, I’ve realized that every client is unique, every person has a story, and everyone has different aspirations and interests.

Most of my focus and experience has been in private practice working with people living with anxiety, depression and mood disorders. I favor an integrative approach of CBT and psychodynamic therapies. I am a compassion-focused therapist and draw on motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices and psychoeducation. Some common challenges I work with are low motivation, low self-esteem, people-pleasing behavior/setting boundaries, an overactive mind, vulnerability/communication issues and low mood. What works for one will not work for all as everyone is complex so interventions used are tailored to each client's goals and needs.
