I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in using cognitive-behavioral therapy to help individuals struggling with anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, low self-esteem, and perinatal issues. I enjoy helping people effectively cope with difficult life transitions and most recently have enjoyed focusing on women's health issues, especially perinatal issues and the transition to motherhood. I have extensive experience with DBT as well, and ran a DBT skills group for over six years. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients to help them develop and work towards their goals, with a focus on building a more satisfying and rewarding life.

​I received my doctorate from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University, where I also completed the specialized geropsychology program. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the New Jersey VA Healthcare System with a focus on treating veterans coping with a variety of difficulties including posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety.
