Overthinking and rumination can feel endless — like your brain is on a loop you can’t turn off. But there are evidence-based skills from CBT, ACT, and DBT that can help you pause, step back, and find calm.
These strategies — from thought records to the STOP method, from Wise Mind to Radical Acceptance — are tools you can practice to reduce spirals and bring yourself back into the present moment.
💡 Healing isn’t about controlling every thought. It’s about building a toolkit that lets you respond with clarity, compassion, and resilience.

I was deeply honored to be featured in Jewish Insider’s important new article, which highlights the experience of my dear Jewish social work colleagues and advocates, as well as a recent report written by Jen Kogan, LCSW and Andrea Yudell, LCSW, and testimonies from other esteemed colleagues.
As I shared: “The whole purpose of the field is, we’re there to support other humans. Our job is to be supportive individuals, and social justice is supposed to be social justice for all. No one should have to go into graduate school and experience harassment and discrimination.”
I also spoke about being doxed after posting about the Israeli hostages in Gaza — a painful and dehumanizing experience that reflects how unsafe Jewish social workers can feel in professional spaces.
This article underscores the urgent need for our profession to return to its core values: empathy, cultural humility, and true social justice for all.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a signal — not a definition of who you are. When it shows up, pause, breathe, and gently challenge your thoughts. Remember, you are not your thoughts. You are so much more. 💙

So often we think growth requires more discipline, more pressure, more pushing through. But real, sustainable growth comes from self-kindness. Treat yourself with the same compassion you’d give to someone you love, and you’ll create space for resilience and healing. 💙

Not all conflict is bad — but how we communicate during it matters.

The good news? Each one has an antidote.

Resilience doesn’t mean going back to who you were before. It means honoring what you’ve lived through and moving forward with strength, softness, and self-awareness.

I graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Minor in Sociology (1997). I attended Loyola University of Chicago and completed a Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work (2002) and a Post Master's Degree in School Social Work (2004).
Prior to starting my private practice, I have worked in a variety of different settings including both private and public schools, psychiatric hospitals, residential, foster care, and adoption care settings. In 2007, I began my private practice in Chicago and subsequently moved my practice to New York City in 2011.
Because of my 20+ years of extensive field experience, I am capable of treating an array of mental health and emotional issues. I have had the opportunity to work with children and families, as well as adults and couples. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a solution based form of psychotherapy, which helps patients to challenge thought distortions to promote changes in thinking and improvements in perceptions and behaviors. Research has shown that CBT is the most effective form of psychotherapy in treating both anxiety and depression.
In addition to specializing in patients with mood disorders, I am also an expert in coping with chronic illness. Managing chronic illness can be challenging and complex, not only physically but from an emotional perspective. Talk therapy can be an effective way to manage interpersonal relationships, mood issues, and navigating medical decisions.
Since 2008, I have been volunteering for the Immune Deficiency Foundation conducting over 30 expert lectures and coping skills groups for patients and caregivers throughout the country. I contributed to the Adolescent and Young Adult Sections in the Life Management Section of the Immune Deficiency Foundation, Patient and Family Handbook for Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases, 5th Edition.
I am currently working on a study of Mindfulness-Based Treatments in Conjunction with the Mood Network Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, PCORnet, and The Immune Deficiency Foundation. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of brief meditation exercises to improve the well-being of patients with Primary Immunodeficiency and other chronic healthcare conditions.
Finally, I believe in a collaborative approach and will coordinate services with physicians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and family members upon your request. Coordination of care is vital in maintaining a more cohesive therapeutic experience.
