I’ve spent my career bringing relief, compassion, and understanding to people looking for evidence-based, research-informed solutions to live better lives. With a focus on the here and now, I work with people on short term treatment plans for issues like insomnia and ADHD. I also offer long-term continuing therapy for depression, anxiety, and more. My flexible style of therapy finds the right combination of treatments to help people feel better and gain control of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

I also have experience working with brain injury rehabilitation, as well as patients with persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In addition to private practice, I have worked in psychiatric ERs, in-patient behavioral health units, mental health shelters, clinics, and assisted living facilities.

Wondering how I got here? After an earlier career in event planning where I had a front row seat to my clients’ major life events, including all the joy and stressors, I realized what I loved most was guiding people through those important moments. I went on to pursue my Masters of Social Work from New York University, Silver School of Social Work—and I’ve never stopped learning. I received advanced training in CBT, ACT, CBTi, Telemental Health, and am currently enrolled in the Beck Institute’s Certification program. I am a Board Certified Telemental Health Provider.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me in my garden, doting on my pets, enjoying a meal in a cozy Italian restaurant, or planning my next retreat to the Adirondacks. I’ll never turn down a trip to the Met between appointments, where I can get lost for hours . And, for all my fellow book lovers, my must-have when we bought our home was enough room for all my books.
