I am a certified psychoanalyst and psychotherapist with over 20 years experience in mental health. In my private practice, I see young and older adults and couples, who come in with a diverse range of issues. I aim to help clients identify what blocks them from achieving their goals, and ultimately derive more satisfaction in their life. With a combination of compassion and directness, I listen intently to one's story, piecing together its meanings, and giving feedback.

After receiving my MSW from New York University’s School of Social Work in 1996, I moved to California and started my career at Stanford's Partial Hospitalization Program and Kaiser Permanente’s Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic. In these programs I developed and ran groups, and provided individual, couples, and family counseling to patients with moderate to severe mental health issues. Upon returning to New York, I worked as a clinician and supervisor at the Jewish Board of Family & Children’s Services Bronx Clinic. In 2011 I started my own private practice.
Post-graduate training includes a Certificate from the William Alanson White Institute’s Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program, and couples training at the Ackerman Institute. In 2016, I graduated from the 5-year certificate program at the Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis (MIP) where I currently serve on the faculty and the Board of Trustees. In addition to MIP, I am on faculty at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies and the Institute for Expressive Analysis where I teach and supervise. I run a group supervision for early and mid-career psychotherapists. I founded the psychoanalytic blog Analysis Now.
Memberships include the Women's Mental Health Consortium, the New York State Society for Clinical Social Work, and the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.
