I am a licensed clinical psychologist with an independent private practice in NYC specializing in individual therapy for young adults, adults and adolescents ages 16 and up. Raised in New York City, I hold a PhD from The New School for Social Research and a BA in Psychology from Lafayette College. I worked for several years in the Division of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Columbia University and completed my pre- and post-doctoral training at the James J. Peters & NY Harbor VA Medical Centers. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Through the application of these evidence-based treatments, I work with clients to better understand and resolve the specific barriers that are keeping them from leading healthier, happier lives.
Approach
Applying a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach, I help clients better identify and resolve the specific barriers keeping them from leading happier, more balanced and fulfilling lives. I believe that a strong rapport between therapist and client is the most essential ingredient to a successful therapy experience. As such, I work to foster a safe, nonjudgmental, compassionate space where change is made and goals are reached.
My clients present with a diverse range of difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, emotion regulation, impulse control problems, obsessive behaviors, body image dissatisfaction, and parenting issues. I use evidence-based treatments to help clients foster more effective coping skills, enhance mindfulness practice, change habits, improve communication and relationships, facilitate personal insight, and challenge problematic thought and behavior patterns.
I believe strongly in a person’s capacity for change and am firmly committed to working closely and collaboratively with clients to help them achieve long-lasting change to reach their short- and long-term goals and carve out a life worth celebrating.
