After working as a licensed clinical social worker for 15 years, I earned my doctoral degree in school psychology in 2015.  My goal was to gain a greater depth of understanding of the complex needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and learning challenges, and to provide clinical support to family members.  This is a population that is often misunderstood, and lacks needed support.  I work to help family members better understand, articulate, and come to terms with their reactions to these unplanned conditions and the ongoing associated feelings.  I have been involved personally and professionally with individuals of all ages and degrees of functioning and find beauty and potential in each unique person.

I completed my doctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship at Stevens Institute of Technology’s Student Counseling & Disability Services, where I provided support to undergraduate and graduate students with a wide range of psychological, academic and disability related concerns.  Additionally, I have provided therapy and psychological testing to children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in a variety of settings, including a group practice, a hospital- based clinic, public and private schools and agencies throughout New Jersey and New York City. 

Most recently, I obtained certifications in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis from the Center for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis of New Jersey (CPPNJ).  This experience enables me to provide in-depth individualized treatment to adults with a range of challenging life circumstances which can affect mental health and optimal functioning.

I have supervised social work students, psychology externs, and post-doctoral students and am available for individual or group supervision.
