I'm a therapist and coach who helps people explore and discover who they are in the world. The ways in which we think, talk and act can get in the way of being able to fully embrace life. I help build creative therapeutic environments in which people can grow emotionally, develop new ways to respond to challenging situations and create the lives they want to live.

In 2003 I co-founded a small public high school in Brooklyn, The High School for Public Service. At this school, I created a unique group therapy program that has helped hundreds of young people with their emotional difficulties.  In addition, I have extensive private practice experience and am passionate about my work with teenagers.

I'm a graduate of Hunter College School of Social Work and received my advanced training at the East Side Institute for Group and Short-Term Psychotherapy. In addition to my psychotherapy practice, I’m on staff at the East Side Institute and frequently give training and talks regarding my work with both adults and teenagers.
