I received my MSW degree from NYU in 2004. I started my social work career as a therapist in outpatient community mental health in Brooklyn, NY, focusing primarily on women with trauma and eating disorders. After moving to Pittsburgh, I spent 12 years working in Squirrel Hill in private practice. I also spent many years as an adjunct faculty instructor in the MSW program at Pitt's School of Social Work (2012-2024). I started Alliance Therapy Center in 2021.

During my career as a therapist, I've enjoyed working with a wide range of clients with numerous and varied life problems and psychiatric concerns. I have experience using (and teaching) many different models of treatment, but am always person-centered and dedicated to consistent and ethical client care. As Founder, Director, and Clinical Supervisor at Alliance, I love the multiple roles I play in this great practice. It's incredibly fun and rewarding to work with such an amazing team.
