I maintain my private practice in Garden City, Long Island. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Princeton University , and my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Adelphi University . I have also received advanced clinical training in Psychoanalysis, as well as Group Psychotherapy, from the Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies .
I have experience with a broad spectrum of adult and adolescent patients in a wide variety of settings.
