I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over twenty years of training and clinical experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have a particular interest in working with women of all ages as they navigate relationships, identity, career and family demands, and periods of transition, uncertainty, and re-evaluation.
At different times during their lives, women experience periods of transition and change while balancing identity, relationships, and expectations—both internal and external. This may involve questions related to life direction, partnership, marriage, separation or divorce, parenting, caregiving, work, aging, menopause, loss, or changing priorities. Sometimes there is simply a growing sense that something internally does not feel quite aligned.
Therapy offers a space for reflection, self-understanding, and growth, helping women recognize patterns and consider changes that support emotional well-being, positive relationships, and a stronger sense of self. I bring a focused, engaged, and collaborative presence to the therapeutic process, along with a sense of humor and a belief that meaningful growth emerges through insight, reflection, and self-understanding.
My approach is psychodynamically informed and integrative. While understanding the deeper patterns that shape our emotional lives is an important part of therapy, I also draw upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-based approaches when helpful in supporting change. I tailor treatment to each person’s individual needs, goals, and circumstances. I provide psychotherapy in both English and German. I have been in private practice since 2012, with my office currently located in Scarsdale, New York.
I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments. I am licensed in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New Mexico; registered as a telehealth provider in Florida; and hold an E.Passport® and Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology through PSYPACT®.
