I consider myself a life-long learner.
I can't imagine a practice or life without continuing to be abreast of our ever-evolving world.

I am a graduate of the NYU Silver School of Social Work and have been working in the field of mental health for 22 years.
I completed a post-graduate program in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and another, the Psychoanalytic Training Program, both at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in New York City. I am Attachment-Focused EMDR trained by the Parnell Institute. My experience includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, the LGBTQ community (especially the Transgender/Gender Expansive community), relational psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, trauma and behavioral therapy.
