Education
I received my Master of Social Work from New York University in 2015. My interest in treating children and adolescents led me to undergo advanced post-masters training at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies, graduating from their Child Program in 2019.

Professional Experience
​​I have years of experience helping children and teens navigate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I started my career in a Psychiatric Community Home, where I provided intensive therapy to kids struggling with these challenges, in addition to supporting individuals facing life stressors and relationship difficulties in a private practice setting.
Later, as the Clinical Program Manager at Hawthorne public schools, I offered in-school counseling to students dealing with anxiety, peer relationships, self-esteem, and academic pressures. I worked closely with parents and staff to provide guidance and support.
Now, in my private practice, I specialize in helping anxious children and their parents find relief and develop strategies to manage their worries and obsessions.
