Provider Directory

After closing my Brooklyn office, I relocated to Ithaca, NY, but see clients from NYC and throughout NY State via telehealth. My psychotherapy practice focuses on individuals and couples, ranging in age from young adults (18 and up), adults, and elderly. I strive to create a safe environment in which to explore life stressors, patterns of relating with others, and how past experiences impact the present.

Areas of professional practice include:
• Mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar
• Alcohol and drug use, harm reduction
• Relationships, separation and divorce
• Sexual issues and concerns
• LGBTQ
• Chronic pain and illness, including HIV
• Grief and loss
• Women's reproductive health
• Career issues
• Financial concerns

I integrate evidence-based treatment, clinical expertise, and an intuitive creative approach that allows us to address the root of problems and access your internal resources so that you can experience more joy and fulfillment.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples living in New York State, Connecticut, and New Jersey - offering both in-person (NYC) and virtual sessions. As an attachment-oriented therapist, I help clients process trauma and attachment injuries, shift out of problematic behaviors and patterns, and deepen their connection to themselves and others.

I am a licensed LCSW in New York and New Jersey.

My specialties include CPTSD, Bipolar Disorder, psychosis, severe depression, religious trauma, and navigating complicated family dynamics.
