Hello and thank you for visiting my page. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania and Delaware and I am looking forward to working with you and getting to know you and hearing about what your concerns are and discussing the possibilities of us working together. Initially I will be working with individuals on the virtual platform exclusively and I hope with time I will once more have a physical office in PA where I can once again meet in person. I have worked with people of multi age groups from parents with babies through people into their aging years with a focus in children , adolescents and families. I have worked in a multitude of settings both public and private and now mostly work out of my outpatient office in Newark, Delaware. Please contact me so we can get to know each other. My specialties are broad but I focus mainly on areas related to anxiety, attachment, trauma, mood disorders, relationships and family systems. I am a play therapist, a hypnotherapist and I use a variety of modalities in my work too many to mention. Most importantly is the needs and intentions of the person who is approaching me for counseling. Therapy is a collaboration- and it is client centered. In other words- you decide what you want to have happen, I am here to assist. If this seems like a comfortable way for you to get started off please contact me and we can talk . I look forward to getting to know you.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Hypnotherapy
I am trained in heart centered hypnotherapy through the Wellness Institute of Washington.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
I am a registered play therapist and I utilize a variety of modalities in which I have been fortunate to have been educated and trained. I utilize the Family play therapy model as my foundation which is a solid model for allowing integration of different approaches, allowing me to integrate and individualize treatment planning.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
Cognitive behavioral therapy was the philosophical and foundational approach of my education in graduate education CBT is in actuality a fluid model that allows for an overall holistic approach that incorporates mindfulness, biofeedback, behavioral goals and training and experiential therapies to name a few. It allows for a mind body approach as well as the inclusion of other significant and relevant angles including ecosystemic therapy, and cultural sensitivity.
Attachment-based
Attachment therapy is significantly applicable to therapy in addressing dynamics both internally and interactively. I utilize attachment therapy both to inform my practice approach on an individualized level as well as in the application of specific strategies when indicated.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
As a social worker and therapist I have been interested in cross cultural understanding and communication for decades. I studied and worked in Arizona in the 1990s working with First Nations people both in the urban areas as well as on the nearby Pima/Maricopa reservation. These experiences as well as my own experiences growing up in the traditional Jewish communities of the mid Atlantic and northeast, as well as my willingness and ability to work in communities in which I am not the majority have contributed to my abilities to understand and support people of other cultures, religions, ethnicities, ages, lifestyles and gender and sexual orientations. I have a deep appreciation and respect for the value and diversity that exists and believe that all people are unique and equal and that we have similarities, but that we are not the same .
