About Me
A graduate of NYU’s School of Social Work, I'm a licensed clinical social worker serving New York, New Jersey, and Colorado. With over fifteen years of experience working with individuals and families in New York City, I bring a wealth of personal and professional insight to my practice, enabling me to connect with and effectively treat patients from diverse backgrounds.
I've completed advanced training in Trauma Studies at the Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis, which focuses on intensive, psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy for adults with significant early-life developmental and interpersonal trauma.
Currently, I am furthering my education at the White Institute’s Eating Disorder, Compulsions, and Addictions (EDCAS) program, which integrates principles of interpersonal psychoanalysis with other treatment modalities to address eating disorders, body image, affect regulation, addiction to substances, relationships, exercise, and other compulsive behaviors.
It is a deep honor and privilege to do this work. I believe that a therapist should never stop learning, so I am always looking to advance my own growth and knowledge through additional didactic learning, collaboration with professional peers, and the hope and resilience found in the lives of my patients.

I proudly serve as clinical director of Creatives Care, a non-profit dedicated to connecting New York City-based artists to affordable, high-quality mental health care, and have also provided mental health consultation services to New York City's child welfare agency, The Administration for Children's Services (ACS).
I enjoy supervising new and experienced therapists working with adults and children, and offer practice building consultation to therapists entering private practice. I am an active member of the Women's Mental Health Consortium (WMHC) and the Performing Arts Medicine Association.
