I am a clinical social worker with advanced training in family therapy at the Ackerman Institute for the Family in NYC. My theoretical approach when working with my clients is drawn from a eclectic framework which includes, narrative, cognitive behavioral, structural,gestalt,strategic, and problem solving. I specialize in working with blended families, adolescents, single parents, and couples. Personally, I am a mother and step-mother of nine children. I have a private practice in New York and California. I am licensed in NY, CA, CT, Fl, and MA. I am currently accepting new clients.
Blending a family can be a stressful process and I have expertise in working with families on issues such as living arrangements, resistance from children, ex-spouces, implementing rules and discipline, how to handle holidays, and boundaries to name a few.
I will see clients evenings and weekends if necessary.

"
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better."
