About this Lister

I am a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work from New York University. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and English from the University of Connecticut.

My Practice: I have honed my clinical skills working with many patients in long-term psychotherapy by exploring and resolving issues of depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, and many other areas that affect our lives. I have a Seminar in Field Instruction (SIFI) and an Advanced Clinical Practice Certificate, both completed at NYU. I also have a One Year Certificate focusing on Modern Psychoanalysis obtained from the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies. I have completed numerous continuing education courses to enhance my specialties. I have training in Narrative Therapy and Expressive Writing, an Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate and Healing Intergenerational Trauma Certificate from The Embody Lab, which has led me to include attachment, and intergenerational trauma as areas of focus in my work. I now incorporate somatic exercises into my therapy practice alongside talk therapy. In October 2025 I became a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I continue my growth as a clinician through yearly participation in The Center for Group Studies training weekends.

Background and Expertise

Along with fifteen years of clinical experience, I am a published author of academic texts and personal essays. You can find some of my work below.
