Therapist Overview
I am an experienced clinician who has been practicing social work for 20 years. My areas of expertise include: depression, anxiety, aging-related issues, adjustment to illness/disability, caregiver stress, transitions, and grief and loss. I use a customized approach when working with clients, utilizing my experience with cognitive-behavioral practices, psychodynamic work and supportive counseling in whatever combination is needed. I strive to create a comfortable and trusting environment in which you feel safe exploring your thoughts and feelings. We look at here-and-now problems that may be causing distress, work to develop strategies on how to manage these feelings and situations, and reflect on what circumstances in the past inform who you are today. I am affiliated with the Weill Cornell Institute for Geriatric Psychiatry and have worked at NewYork Hospital in both the hospital and outpatient settings.
