I have been working for over 35 years as a clinical psychologist with children, adults and families. Over this period, I have developed expertise as an individual and couples psychotherapist, parent coordinator and educator for divorcing families. I have also provided psychotherapy for clients who live all over the world which has enabled me to develop a strong appreciation for cultural differences.

I have a holistic view of therapy and use a strengths-based approach often incorporating humor and mindfulness techniques to engage with my clients. I believe that every individual possesses the capacity to make positive life changes and that these changes can occur when individuals feel understood, safe and challenged to explore new ways of thinking about their experiences.

You may be wondering why I niched in women’s health. Simply put, I get it. After living with chronic illnesses for fifteen years, struggling to find correct diagnoses, surgeries and countless treatments, I understand first hand the impact of women’s health issues on your mental health. I empathize with the toll it takes on your body and your most important relationships. I get the grief that comes with the loss of dreams you had for your future, struggling with your identity as a woman and feeling betrayed by your body. My hope is to use my therapeutic skills and real life experience to help you get to the other side.

I founded New York Women’s CBT and expanded to group private practice with the goal of providing niched, expert care for more women in New York. Our clinicians are experts and passionate about working within women’s health issues. We want to walk together through pain and grief you are feeling, help you cope with anxiety and feel the fog of depression lifted. Complex chronic illness and health issues are a part of your story-they do not have to be all of your story.
