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. Additionally I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.

Specialized Trainings

To further my skills in treating children, teens, and young adults with anxiety and OCD, I have completed the following:

​

  • SPACE: Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions

  • Brief interventions for panic attacks

  • Identifying and treating Pure “O”OCD

  • CBT for OCD in children and adolescents

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.
