I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed both in Delaware and Maryland, providing psychotherapeutic services to indivudals, couples and familes. I received my MS in Special Education from Hunter College, NYC, and I hold an MSW from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I have experience in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), working with grief and bereavement, along with working with people with autism and developmental disabilities, along with experience in trauma work. Currently, I am also an adjunct professor at Wilmington University, teaching courses in conflict resolution and mediation. In the past , I have taught courses at Johns Hopkins University, Coppin State University, College of Notre Dame in Baltimore and Bowie State University. I also have experience with Alternatives to Violence (AVP), Restorative Practices, mediation with couples & families, and issues facing the LBGTQ community. I have facilitated workshops on grief and bereavement, informed consent and working with families of children with disabilities. I am passionate about helping people imagine and fulfill their best self, assisting people in learning coping skills. Being raised in Brooklyn, NY, I am always on a quest for the quintessential slice of pizza.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
