My Experience

​​​I graduated from Fordham University in 2012 with a Masters in Social Work and started my experience in the field of addiction, including opioid treatment and outpatient substance abuse programs.  During that time I primarily focused using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques while working with individuals, couples, families and facilitated groups.  

To learn more beyond using CBT, in 2017, I completed a two year post graduate training at Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy as well as became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.  That’s also the same year I started my private practice and focused on my psychodynamics training as I worked with individuals who wanted help with anxiety, self esteem, life transitions, depressive symptoms and other concerns.

I gained more competency in working with people in relationships by completing a four year externship at Ackerman Institute for the Family in 2021.  There I learned to think systemically as I worked with couples and families.  The concerns people brought during my training there spanned from premarital counseling, to separation, to co parenting, to conflict issues with adult siblings and beyond. 

In addition to my training and experience, I attend two peer supervision groups and continue to receive individual supervision for support and also to continue to grow as a therapist.
