I have 19 years of experience as a clinical social worker having worked in school settings, hospital settings and outpatient clinic settings. I completed my Master's Degree in Social Work in 2007 and have practiced clinical social work since that time as an LCSW-C. Most of my career has been spent as a mental health therapist, I have been in private practice since 2019. I take a holistic and client centered approach to therapy, often focusing on relationship, mood, anxiety and family issues. I use a mindfulness approach to treatment and often incorporate CBT in sessions, helping clients understand the connection between thoughts and behavior.

I am an LCSW-C, an Orthodox Jewish mother of three, and a psychotherapist. I am a trauma-informed, integrative therapist who helps clients navigate anxiety, OCD, trauma, life transitions, grief, emotional regulation, marriage and relationships, and women’s mental health, including body image, self-esteem, parenting and motherhood, perinatal and postpartum experiences, and perimenopause.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, CPT, IFS, ACT, and somatic techniques, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, with an emphasis on tangible progress, practical tools, and meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, structured, and empowering space where clients can process their experiences, build resilience, expand their emotional toolbox, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and agency.
