For over two decades I have provided mental health services to children, adolescents, and adults.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work in 2000 and a Master of Arts degree in Psychology in 1993 both from New York University.  I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Education from Rutgers University (1989). My professional accomplishments include extensive experience providing mental health services to children and adolescents in a school setting, as well as, clinical work with adults, families and with the LGBTQ community.  I have also worked with children and adolescents in foster care, residential placements and schools for the past 20 years. 

​I utilize a holistic approach in working with clients, encompassing components of cognitive behavior theory, trauma-informed interventions, positive behavioral supports and solution-focused methods. I believe in the value of the therapeutic relationship and strive to provide a safe environment for clients to feel validated, understood, and more capable of moving forward through life’s challenges. Clinical areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, loss/grief, parenting, life transitions, relationship issues, school avoidance, LGBTQ community, and learning disabilities.

If you are using insurance, the cost is dependent upon your policy and may include a co-payment, deductible, or co-insurance.  These fees are determined by your insurance company and are due each session.  Some people do not pay anything.  Others have a small co-payment, while some have a large deductible.  Each policy is different.  It is best to contact your insurance company to verify your benefits prior to the first session. 

If you are utilizing out of network benefits or private self pay, the fee schedule is as follows: 

Standard Services:

Initial Evaluation $200

Individual 45 minute session $150

Family 45 minute session $175
