Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My approach is flexible and eclectic, and I adapt the treatment plan to each individual. I enjoy helping clients from all walks of life and have worked extensively within the LGBT community. I hold clinical licenses in both New York and New Jersey, and am board certified by the National Association of Social Workers. I received my Masters in Social Work from Hunter College School of Social Work/CUNY.
I achieved Diplomate Status from the National Association of Social Workers, and was the Greta Singer Memorial Lecturer at Monmouth University (2011); and adjunct faculty for both graduate schools of Social Work and Mental Health Counseling at Hunter College/CUNY. I have also served as a Field Instructor for Columbia, NYU, Fordham, and Yeshiva.
I am an Accredited Teacher of T’ai Chi Chih®, a non-martial arts form of T’ai Chi. I am a member of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care (NYC).

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most typical issues.
One major benefit is flexibility – you can connect in the way that works best for you, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or messages within an app. This adaptability makes it easier to fit ongoing care into a busy schedule.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and if a different approach or clinician would be a better fit, you can make a change at any time.
