I am a seasoned CBT psychologist and the Founder & Director of Cognitive Therapy for Women Psychological Services, the first CBT private group practice in New York City dedicated solely to women’s mental health. I earned my doctorate in counseling psychology from Columbia University in 2001 and have gained rigorous clinical experience in NYC hospital and outpatient settings, with a focus on women’s mental health whenever possible. Prior to and during my graduate studies, I worked as a professional researcher focused on women and work, HIV prevention, and violence prevention.

With 23 years of private practice experience, I have spent the last decade expanding and managing my group practice while also working with my own clients. I recently chose to close my group to concentrate on my solo work as a CBT therapist, coach, and consultant.

My working style is positivistic, focused, and pragmatic. I believe my clients often experience me as a “straight shooter” who brings clarity, depth of experience, and some much needed humor to the challenges of personal growth and thriving. If this approach resonates with you, reach out to learn more! I am able to work with thearpy clients in NY, CT, and Florida via telehealth, and coaching and consulting clients throughout the United States.
