Professional Experience I began my career in a Psychiatric Community Home, in which I provided intensive individual, family, and group CBT therapy, for children and teens who were often struggling with depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, trauma, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts/behaviors. In addition to my full-time job, I provided psychotherapy, in a private practice, to children, teenagers, and adults, who were having difficulty managing stress, dealing with big life changes, and sorting out challenging relationships. ​​ I transitioned to a school-based counseling program, in which I was the Clinical Program Manager for Hawthorne's Lincoln Middle School and Hawthorne High School. I was able to provide in-school counseling to students who often struggled with school anxiety, social anxiety, low self-esteem, friendships, and academic challenges. There, I also supported parents and teachers through psychoeducational workshops, worked closely with guidance counselors and child study team members to assist in creating and implementing I&RS plans, 504 plans, and Individualized Education Plans (IEP), and was responsible for providing school clearances when students needed to be assessed for risk of suicide. I decided to follow my dream of opening my own private practice, during the COVID-19 crisis. I have been helping those who are feeling overwhelmed, scared, worried, anxious, and stressed, through telehealth and in my office, located in Wyckoff, New Jersey.
