I have been working with families for over 30 years. During this time I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and couples. Many people begin therapy to work towards moving aside obstacles or issues that prevent movement forward, whatever that looks like to them...it is all individual. Although my expertise has always been in working with adolescents dealing with social, emotional, family or school issues, I feel equally capable when working with a family, a couple or an individual towards their goal.

For more than 25 years, I have worked with children, teens, and adults coping with a variety of problems and situations. Through therapy, I believe that people can develop greater insight and more adaptive, life-affirming ways of coping with their unique difficulties and circumstances. I have worked extensively with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, health problems, loss, grief, and relationship/family/parenting issues. I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University in New York City.
