Hi! I'm a licensed clinical social worker, licensed to practice in New York, Virginia and Florida. I acquired a master’s degree in social work from Columbia University and have a master's degree in psychology from NYU. I have been practicing for 16 years working with clients experiencing a wide range of issues that may include one or more of the following: low self confidence, relationship issues, anxiety/overthinking, depression, coping with life changes as well as parents facing challenges with their children. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique and specific needs. My approach pulls from many different therapy styles blended with a direct, no-nonsense approach. I am here to support you in taking the steps towards building a more peaceful, fulfilling and authentic life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, I like to begin with brief introductions and ensure I have a complete history and background so that we may dive into issues you may be facing right now. I also like to go over expectations, a playbook for future sessions, and ensure we have a plan for open communication, throughout our work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Getting results. Experience in the corporate and start-up worlds taught me to be results focused. My clients have high rates of success, change the way they approach life and report benefits from treatment.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have studied CBT for years and utilize CBT the most in my practice, primarily because it is an evidenced based treatment, shown time and time again to be effective, which I see in my own practice as well. CBT, blended with a direct, no-nonsense approach balanced with compassion and validation provide results you see and feel.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have studied DBT for years and often utilize DBT in my practice, incorporating other treatment methods and theories. DBT blended with a direct, no-nonsense approach to treatment, balanced with compassion and validation, provide results you see and feel.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is a treatment method I use most commonly when clients report feeling "stuck," while goal setting, and reducing specific behaviors (i.e., substance use).
Psychoeducation
I see therapy as a joint venture; I am not the "knowledge keeper" and think it is important for clients to be as knowledgable and empowered as possible, providing client education, is a key part of my approach.
Attachment-based
I draw on attachment type theory especially as it may relate to family dynamics and romantic relationships. Exploring attachment style may be a helpful tool for some clients, especially around issues of "co-dependency" or when clients have relationships with individuals who demonstrate narcissistic or borderline personality traits.
