Specialties

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy where myself and the patient are working together towards a goal. In my practice I often help my child, adolescent, and adult patients manage issues of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, as well as  relationship issues, uncertainties in one's career, and identity issues. As a specialist in perinatal mood disorders, I help women struggling with fertility issues, as well as depression/anxiety in the prenatal and postnatal periods. I believe that therapy can assist people in improving their interpersonal communication skills. New York City can be a stressful and isolating place and my goal is for us to work together to help you create a fulfilling and peaceful life. 

Qualifications

I have over ten years of experience of working with children and adults in various settings: mental health clinics, school based mental health programs, psychiatric units, and in private practice. I have a Masters in Drama Therapy from New York University and a Certificate in Psychoanalysis from The National Institute for the Psychotherapies. For my child patients, I utilize play therapy and drama therapy techniques, and I approach adult treatment from a relational psychoanalytic theoretical background.
