Why I chose to be in the helping profession

Jewish Social Worker in Woodmere, NY

As a therapist, my role is to hold a space for you. A space to be human without judgement or shame. I am not here to fix you. 

I specialize in helping women and couples who experience(d) perinatal and infant loss, infertility, perinatal or postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. I am trained in maternal mental health, grief and bereavement, and trauma. While using evidenced based approaches, I am there to help clients untangle their thoughts and feelings, while they go through their grieving, mourning, and/or parenting journey. 

As the Clinical Coordinator for ATIME HUG, I am fortunate to support women and couples experiencing perinatal and infant loss.

In my private practice I continue to do more of the same. Additionally, I provide clinical supervision for therapists and social work interns, as well as conduct parenting classes for parents with children of all ages and stages.
