I am a state licensed psychotherapist with a Master's of Social Work from Yeshiva University and further postgraduate clinical training.  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 more than a decade I worked at major academic medical centers on adult and pediatric units, with patients families facing critical illness and the related medical and end of-life decisions.  I have also served as part of a healthcare team with oncology patients in the community, with particular focus on women with breast cancer.  

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 issues, confronting a difficult circumstance, or seeking to make meaningful change in their life.  Clients often reflect back to me that they experience my caring as genuine.  Caring and commitment to work with you to the best of my ability are the cornerstones of my practice.
