About me
I am a clinical social worker, supervisor, registered poetry therapist, certified mentor, and a certified clinical anxiety treatment professional who is dedicated to helping those with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors and related co-occurring disorders. Licensed in NY and NJ.
I have worked in the NYS mental health system since 2006 and am dedicated to helping those with Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors such as hair pulling and twirling, skin picking, lip and cheek biting, nail and cuticle biting. I also work closely and address possible co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, and attention deficit and/or hyperactive disorders. I welcome adults, adolescents, children, and/or their parents. Together we will develop individualized treatment to meet your needs. Please feel free to look me up further on bfrb.org, trichstop.com, skinpick.com, or psychology today. Call or email to see if we are the right fit and I’m looking forward to working with you on this road to recovery."
