I am a state licensed psychotherapist with a Master's of Social Work from Yeshiva University and further postgraduate clinical training at the Training Institute for Mental Health and the Ackerman Institute for the Family.  I am also a credentialed nutritionist with a Master's degree from Columbia University.  My early professional background is in childhood education.  

Over the years, I have been privileged to engage with patients whose resilience and strength are extraordinary.  Before creating my private practice, for over a decade I worked at major academic medical centers on adult and pediatric units, with  families facing the emotional impact of critical illness and related medical and end of-life decisions.  I also served as a member of an interdisciplinary team treating breast cancer patients in the community, where I counseled on the emotional impact of cancer on the individual and family.  I bring the benefit of these and other rich and varied professional experiences to my current practice, where I work with a wide array of clients whether dealing with long-standing emotional issues, confronting a difficult circumstance, building family through third party reproduction, or seeking to make any meaningful change in their life.
