​I am a Psychotherapist and Clinical Social Worker, licensed to practice in New York State.  I have a private practice in the Chelsea section of Manhattan.  I received my Masters of Social Work (M.S.W.) from New York University and also hold a Masters of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) from Columbia University.   

My approach to psychotherapy is eclectic and integrates several schools of practice, with a particular emphasis on trauma healing.  I am a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and am certified in Clinical Hypnosis and EMDR.  I am an EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy)-trained couples therapist.  I work with LGBTQ and heterosexual adult individuals and couples of all ages and racial/ethnic backgrounds. 

I am also an adoption specialist in New York working independently and with an agency affiliation. I have led workshops and trainings for parents and adoption professionals; and I am an adoptive mother.​
