I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I am the daughter of a psychotherapist and a psychiatric nurse.

Looking back, I began informal psychotherapy training as a very young child. My formal professional training has centered on Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), a highly effective short-term evidence based approach, and Compassionate Inquiry.

Prior to becoming a therapist I traveled extensively, built a career in fashion in Manhattan, had extensive therapy myself, and eventually became the mother of 3, all of which, in hindsight, has made me a better therapist.

I am not a finished product. I grow and learn from each client. I am a work in progress in all aspects of my life and expect I always will be. I believe that individual psychotherapy is essentially two imperfect people (you and me) working out a highly intimate relationship for the sole purpose of helping you heal. With couples or family therapy the number of imperfect people multiplies.
