I'm a licensed mental health counselor with a private practice in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I help people improve well-being, develop resilience, and achieve the growth they're seeking. I practice from a developmental, psychodynamic, trauma-informed framework, integrating clinical applications from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment theory, family systems, and mindfulness.

​

My extensive experience in education affords me particular expertise with respect to issues faced by school-age individuals and the developmental processes of young people within the context of schools, families, and community. I'm well-versed in the specific support needed for folks who may identify as gifted, talented, and neurodivergent. As a big proponent of arts in education, and having a performing arts background myself, I understand firsthand the protective factors the arts can offer as well as the clinical and developmental considerations for treatment. ​​

​

Over the years I’ve worked in a variety of roles and settings, including program director, community mental health counselor, social emotional learning specialist, dean of student support, and school counselor in private and public schools. I received post-graduate training at the New York Institute for Psychotherapy (NYIPT), MA and Ed.M. degrees in psychological counseling from Columbia University, and hold licensure as a mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York State.
