  • Psychologist
    New York

I am a clinical psychologist with B.A. from Johns Hopkins University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the New School for Social Research. My research background in attachment theory and child development has fueled my interest in early childhood trauma and how these experiences impact the way we relate to ourselves and others. Additionally, I specialize in working with women’s issues (body image, self esteem, relationships, identity, perinatal/postpartum struggles), emerging adulthood, and those struggling with immigration and acculturation challenges.

I have experience working across the lifespan with individuals (adults, adolescents, children) and couples across a variety of treatment settings (college counseling, hospital inpatient and outpatient, psychiatric emergency room and medical units).

While I primarily work from a relational psychoanalytic framework, I integrate techniques from mindfulness, CBT, DBT, internal family systems and existential psychotherapy.
