I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with individuals and couples in private practice. I received my Masters Degree in Social Work at New York University and I have advanced training in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.

During my career, I worked as a Director for Housing Works, an agency whose mission is to end the dual crisis of homelessness and AIDS. I served as the Senior Director of Drop In Services for the Ali Forney Center, the nation’s largest 24hr program dedicated to serving homeless LGBTQ youth. I currently serve as a member of the Board of Directors and Co-Chair of the Programs and Youth Services Committee. I served as the Executive Director of The National Institute for the Psychotherapies Training Institute(NIP), a post graduate psychoanalytic / psychotherapy training institute and currently a Co-Director of NIP’s Psychodynamic Approaches Certificate Program.

As a result of this work I have developed expertise in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, gender identity and sexuality, and life transitions

I am licensed by New York State as a Licensed Clinical Worker. I am a member of the New York State Society of Clinical Social Workers and the American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work.
