Psychologist, Ph.D.
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP, DBT-LBC
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), working together with my clients to develop a focused, personalized plan to achieve their goals. This typically includes addressing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through learning specific skills to take control of their emotions. I am one of the co-founders of NYCBT, a private psychology group practice in Manhattan, and I also have an office in Greenwich, CT and can provide Telehealth services in any PSYPACT-participating state.
I specialize in treating people who have experienced trauma, and I offer personalized, effective approaches to help my clients learn to live with and overcome the impact of these traumatic experiences, including PTSD. I also often work with people suffering from anxiety, panic, and phobias, as well as anger management and relationship issues.
Finally, I led DBT skills training groups for many years, and co-authored a book on DBT skills called "Self-Directed DBT Skills." I have helped many people learn DBT skills to better manage their thoughts, emotions, and behavior, and I look forward to working together to help you make the changes you want in your life.

Psychologist, PhD
In my private practice I offer psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy in which I strive to create a relationship and process in which it is possible to articulate a narrative of your self and your life that can be experienced as resonant and authentic, towards an alleviation of that which ails you. Your personal, historical, and cultural formation is critical in our exploration of who you are and who you strive to become. The state of being anxious or depressed or melancholic is one we will together attempt to understand as a surfacing of a deep and interior self to be understood and integrated.
