I’m a licensed clinical social worker, operating a virtual practice and primarily serving children (age appropriate), teens, parents, and young adults. I am licensed to practice in NY and CT. I use evidence-based tools to help build skills for managing emotions, handling stress, and feeling more in control. My goal is to create a space where you (or your child) feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I work from a family systems perspective, understanding that when one person in the family is struggling, the entire family unit is impacted.
