I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma of various kinds (illness, accidents, assault, loss) in childhood or adulthood. I have worked for many years with women and men who have experienced childhood sexual, physical or emotional abuse, or adult sexual assault. Recurring thoughts and images about the trauma, or less conscious feelings such as fear and worthlessness, or difficulties letting anyone get close, can persist, even if it happened long ago. My focus in therapy is to help you work through these experiences so they no longer prevent you from living more fully in your present life.

Working with children, adolescents, and young adults is my passion. My educational background includes a Masters of Science in Social Work (MSSW) from Columbia University School of Social Work. Most recently, I earned my Doctorate in Social Work (DSW) from Rutgers University School of Social Work, where I conducted research and published several articles in peer-reviewed journals. I am also a school social worker, which has given me insight into the struggles youth encounter on a daily basis. I provide mental health counseling in addition to crisis work and case management. I previously worked in the nonprofit sector as well.

Welcome. I help adults struggling with concerns such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma, work-stress, and general life dissatisfaction. I can also help someone clarify what might have gone wrong when they feel stuck, are unable to stop an unwanted feeling, or are unsure as to why they cannot make the changes they desire in life. My ultimate goal in conducting therapy is to ensure that my clients feel that they are living life as they desire, as full-potential versions of themselves.

Are you facing a challenging situation in your life? Perhaps you are trying to recover from a difficult break-up. Or you may be trying to resolve conflicts in a relationship with a partner, family member, co-worker or boss. Your struggle may be an internal one, such as dealing with behavior that feels out of control, confusion over sexual orientation, gender identity or other issues affecting self-esteem. Utilizing a combination of mindfulness, cognitive therapy, insight oriented and trauma based approaches, my goal is to foster a compassionate view of yourself as you deal with life's challenges.

How does my child get along with his/her peers? Is my child sensitive to the feelings of others? Can my child wait and control their impulses? How aware is my child of his/her feelings? Can my child respect others "space," make new friends, maintain a conversation and are they really listening when someone is speaking? These are just a few questions my clients ask themselves before seeking my services. I have years of experience helping children and young adults who are grappling with these areas. Feel free to visit my website for more information regarding social skills training.

In therapy, we learn to see ourselves more clearly through identifying our strengths and weaknesses with more openess, curiousity, and less judgement. It's through this compassionate and conscious way of relating to ourselves that we can begin to make wiser decisions for ourselves and our relationships. In my 33 years of practice, I have worked with individuals, couples, families and groups. After working in a hospital system for many years, I'm very comfortable working with people with chronic illness, depression and loss. I've also been dedicated to helping women around body image issues and transitions.
