Psychologist
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adolescents, college/graduate students, and adults. I specialize in helping people navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and substance use. I also bring in my neuropsych background to provide neuro-diversity affirming and strengths-based care. My approach is integrative, pulling from evidence-based therapies such as dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Psychoanalyst, LP, LCAT
As a psychodynamic, trauma-informed therapist and psychoanalyst, I offer a space to explore relationships and the roles one plays in them, honoring strengths and uncovering the meanings that underlie challenging areas. Goals would include connecting thoughts and emotions, to enhance insight into how one moves through one's life and to increase healthier coping skills to stressors. I value diversity including but not limited to race, religion, sexuality, gender, and culture, working to understand how these aspects of identity influence a person’s experience of themselves, to provide an environment that fosters continuous growth in all areas of being.

Mental Health Counselor
I’m passionate about helping my clients connect: with me, with the people in their lives, and, most importantly, with themselves.
As an NYU graduate and New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and psychotherapist, I view therapy as a profound learning experience. I help individuals and couples connect with their resilience, learn new coping skills, and cultivate the relationships they want (and deserve).
Above all, I help my clients get comfortable with being uncomfortable. After all, you can’t grow if you’re stuck in the same old patterns and behaviors.
