I have been practicing as a psychotherapist in New York City since earning a Masters Degree from Hunter College School of Social Work in 2011. While working as a therapist full time, I then pursued a certification in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center (PPSC) in New York City. This rigorous program has broadened my training and allows me to work with a wider range of individuals.
In conjunction with my private practice, I am the Director of Clinical Services at Footsteps, an organization that provides support for people transitioning out of Ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities. Prior to this, my experience has encompassed working with individuals dealing with substance misuse, trauma, issues of sexual and gender identity, depression, anxiety, and HIV/AIDS.
Other professional experience includes serving as an expert panelist and presenter at events and conferences focused on work within the LGBTQ community and use of crystal meth as well as impacts of intergenerational trauma in the Orthodox Jewish community. Additionally, I provide clinical supervision to a variety of counseling staff, interns, and students.
