I am a licensed psychotherapist specialized in working with children, teens, young adults, and families. I was trained as a mental health counselor at Hunter College and have degrees from New York University and American University. Licensed to practice in both the states of New York and New Jersey, I have expanded my practice from New York City, and am now providing services to families in Livingston, NJ, and the surrounding areas.     

I utilize an eclectic approach to counseling which is informed by the person-centered therapy, and positive psychology modalities, along with techniques and strategies related to Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My approach to counseling has also been informed by an extensive study of yoga and eastern philosophy.   I have been working with children and adolescents for over 20 years in a variety of settings and professional capacities. 

Prior to beginning my counseling career, I also worked in the field of international relations and diplomacy in Washington, DC, and lived in, and traveled to, over 30 countries.   My diverse work and travel experience has allowed me to better appreciate the diversity of the human experience, and has enhanced my ability to connect with a diverse range of clients in a supportive and non-judgmental manner.
