Trained in the tradition of psychodynamic psychotherapy, I spent many years initially treating patients with severe and persistent psychiatric disorders and eventually teaching and supervising in the residency and psychology internship programs at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. After some additional years doing administrative work for the NYS Office of Mental Health (several facilities), I switched my focus from a public health perspective to independent practice, continuing my work individually with adults as well as with couples and families. Although my primary orientation toward psychopathology and treatment continues to be psychodynamic, I occasionally integrate some cognitive behavioral tools into the psychotherapy; I was certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy when the treatment was initiated at the facility in which I was an administrator.

I am a NYS Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience providing psychotherapy, neuropsychological evaluations, and critical case consultations for healthcare professionals.

Above all, I am committed to bringing empathy, openness, and honesty to the therapy space to foster growth and positive change.

My approach is rooted in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy, with an emphasis on exploring the relationships, experiences, and often-unconscious patterns that shape our lives.

AASECT certified sex and couples therapist and author specializing in sex and relationships. I love working to access bodily autonomy, sex positivity, and supporting couples in any type of relationship find freedom and deep connection. I also work with AI attachment and relationships, as well as sexual OCD.

I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective to examine and explore relational patterns and how they affect your view of yourself and others. I also draw from AEDP to deepen and stay with emotions, and DBT to help regulate emotions when they feel overwhelming. I approach this work through a feminist, anti-oppressive lens.

In my work with individuals, couples, and families, my goal is to help you reconnect, or connect for the first time, with your personal sense of meaning in order to carve out a life that is fulfilling.
