About Me
I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2002 starting a full-time private practice in 2008. I did my undergraduate work at Binghamton University majoring in history, and completed my graduate studies at New York University School of Social Work. My clinical training began at the NYU Counseling and Wellness Services where I helped students with mood disorders and school adjustment problems. The work with young people continued at an adolescent clinic of the Jewish Board of Family and Children Services (The Jewish Board). While there, I finished a 3-year training program at the Martha K. Selig Educational Institute. I have also completed a training program of the Postpartum Stress Center and am certified to treat women suffering from a variety of postpartum conditions. I completed the EMDR training Levels I, II, and III through the Parnell Institute. To help deepen my work with patients, I read widely and work on myself, consult with colleagues, and cultivate a daily mindfulness practice. Since working in private practice can be isolating, I participate in a bi-weekly supervision group which enriches my work with the insights of colleagues I trust.
