Donna provides psychotherapy services for individuals, couples, and families.

She specializes in the treatment of anxiety, eating disorders (including binge eating disorder, bulimia, anorexia, and compulsive exercise), couple's counseling (including pre-marital counseling), infertility, pregnancy, postpartum anxiety, and depression.

Donna's psychotherapy practice is designed to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. She practices in a psychodynamic framework which emphasizes the root causes of symptoms and cognitive behavioral therapy to manage unwanted behaviors, and their associated feelings and thoughts. With compassion and understanding, she works with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

Donna volunteers at her Temple running an educational and support group for women not of the Jewish faith who are raising Jewish children. In her free time, she loves spending time with her husband, two daughters, and their adorable dog Mikey (a rescue)!
