About Me
A licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I received my social work training at Hunter College School of Social Work and went on to complete a three-year post-graduate training program in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy at the New York Institute forPsychotherapy and Training (NYIPT).
I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults with symptoms related to depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, ADHD, parenting challenges, and job or academic underachievement.
In addition to my work with adults, I have several years of experience working in school-based mental health programs in both elementary and middle schools. And I am currently the elementary school social worker at Mary McDowell Friends School, a school for children with learning disabilities in Brooklyn. That experience has allowed me to gain particular insights into and expertise in helping children and adolescents who are coping with social, emotional and behavioral challenges that prevent them from reaching their true potential. Working within this population, I have developed an interest in helping both children and adults cope with the emotional fall-out that often accompanies ADHD and learning disabilities.
