Hello and welcome. I’ve devoted my entire career to helping kids and young adults. Is your child, adolescent or are you a young adult… Feeling depressed? Having unrealistic or unusual worries? Engaging in hair pulling or skin picking? Not speaking in social situations? Having anxiety when away from a parent? Experiencing low self-esteem? Struggling to make connections with peers? Trying to recover from a traumatic event? Concerned about their transition into middle school or high school? Having difficulty adjusting in college? Asking to speak to a therapist?
I can help teach you and your kids the tools they need to help improve their lives. I’m a licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years experience providing therapy exclusively to children, adolescents and young adults. I have a B.A. in Psychology from Wesleyan University and a M.S. in Social Work from Columbia University.
The decision to seek help isn’t always easy. With this in mind, please know that I strive to maintain a warm, supportive atmosphere in my practice. Please don’t hesitate to call me to discuss your concerns. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
