Ph.D.
Accepting Clients

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specialized in trauma, anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, grief, and life transitions.

Clinical Psychologist in New York, NY

About My Clients

I work with individuals of all ages (adults, teens, children, and toddlers), and believe in the healing nature of a strong therapeutic relationship. I will work to facilitate growth in your or your child’s natural areas of strength, while also deepening your understanding of what causes pain.

My Background and Approach

Whether you're going through a difficult life transition, need to process painful or traumatic events, need help managing complex emotions, or want to strengthen your relationships with your family, friends, or yourself, I am here to collaborate with you to figure out the best path forward. Therapy illuminates the patterns we find ourselves in, and also provides ways of coping with the distress resulting from these patterns. Through understanding how our past and present circumstances affect us, we cultivate empathy for ourselves and those around us. My approach is collaborative and individualized, and includes relational psychodynamic techniques, humor, metaphor, CBT techniques, and/or mindfulness. With children I utilize play therapy (even on video!), mindfulness, as well as behavioral methods. I look forward to hearing from you, and to learn about how we can work together.
