Override Hero Title

I first received my Master's in Guidance & Counseling in the 1990s from Hunter College in Manhattan and obtained an Advanced Certificate in Mental Health Counseling from the University at Buffalo. I have also been a practicing, licensed massage therapist for nearly 30 years. I have clinical experience providing empathic mental health care for individuals, couples, families, and groups and have treated anxiety, trauma, depression, personality and eating disorders, as well as other mental health concerns. I have also treated physical disease conditions and physical trauma with mind/body techniques. Each client is unique, and raising awareness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is the focus in working collaboratively and intentionally towards realistic solutions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience providing compassionate and effective mental health care and psychotherapy in diverse clinical settings. I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through various life challenges and transitions. This extensive experience ensures you receive knowledgeable and skilled guidance tailored to your specific needs.

I am a psychiatrist with over fifteen year of experience with children, adolescents and adults, and am dually board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

Following undergraduate studies at Barnard College, Columbia University and after medical school, I completed my psychiatry residency at Tufts University and my fellowship in child & adolescent psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

In addition to my clinical work, I have expertise in medical ethics focused on issues of consent, capacity, and shared decision-making in healthcare and for research trials. I also remain dedicated to teaching and mentorship of undergraduates, medical students and trainees.

We often underestimate past experiences' effect on our personality, self-image, and current relational patterns. Together, we will bridge gaps between the past and present and identify the patterns of behavior, coping, and interpersonal functioning that no longer serve you. My approach to therapy is non-judgmental, empathic, and candid, with humoristic relief.

I have over 30 years of experience as a licensed social worker and have been trained in most evidenced based practices over the years. I am also a trainer in therapeutic topics including stress management, mental health diagnoses such as depression/anxiety, suicide prevention and parenting challenging behaviors. I train the community and other professionals. My master's degree is in Social Work and my undergrad degree is in Psychology. I have worked with a team of behaviorists for several years and I am an expert in behavioral approaches including FBA (functional behavioral assessment), a rare combination for Social Workers! Most of my career has been on the mental health side, but over the last few years, I worked as an administrator in developmental disabilities. I can address co-occurring diagnoses such as Autism and mental health diagnoses. I believe that the client should set the pace and be involved in all aspects of treatment and that I work for you, the client.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and families. I provide a nonjudgmental, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected.

I have experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, life transitions, school or work stress, and relationship challenges. I also work with parents who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure how to cope during difficult stages of parenting.

Additionally, I support individuals transitioning from hospitalizations who are motivated to improve their quality of life and build stability within the community.
