Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Therapist/Trainer/Supervisor

Empowered parents, happy teens

Hi, I'm Donna! As a parent of two young adult daughters and a therapist of 30 years, guiding teens and young adults as they learn to navigate the world is my passion.
I have had the privilege of sitting with people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Whether they are struggling with anxiety, trauma, parenting, relationships, or major life transitions, my goal is always the same: to help them feel deeply understood while equipping them with practical tools for lasting change. I believe healing happens not only through insight, but through connection, self-compassion, and the courage to tell a different story about ourselves. My work integrates attachment theory, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, CBT, and emerging approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help people move from fear to freedom.
Over the course of my career, I have worked in both corporate and non-profit settings in healthcare leadership roles, including National Director of Patient Services for the Leukemia Society of America, Health Educator for New York Association for New Americans, and Online Community Director for iVillage.com, Weightwatchers.com and Disney.com. In addition to my private practice, I serve as Clinical Supervisor at Solace House USA, a free suicide prevention service.
