I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice. My office is located at Columbus Circle. I received my training at Rutgers University (Graduation 2007).

People work with me in therapy when when they want to understand themselves better, express themselves more authentically, build stronger social connections, and get through a big life transition. I have openings for therapy sessions and neurodivergence-affirming autism assessments.

I help people who are struggling with life transitions, relationship and intimacy issues, and questions about identity. I have specialized expertise in helping women and men address the aftereffects of trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depersonalization and dissociation.

No human is broken. We are all, simply, the logical conclusion of the sum of our total experiences, operating in the exact way the human system was intended to operate, by adapting.

In a relational, humanistic, and conversational style, we will work to piece together your narrative in a way that connects the total sum of your experiences to your present thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns. Through focusing on development of the ability to maintain internal validity and positive self-regard, individuals will actively reduce self-shame, self-judgement, and self-harm, in order to find the healing, growth, and change they are hoping for.

I work relationally and focus on your relationship with yourself and those around you. Additionally, I’ll help you explore relational trauma, relationship anxiety, fallout from infidelity, or relationship beliefs that are holding you back. We'll work together to develop strategies and tools for real change.
