Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a clinical psychologist specializing in working with adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and other forms of anxiety. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), treatments that to reduce symptoms and improve wellbeing by cultivating flexibility in our thinking and behavior.
I use a collaborative, evidence-based approach so that treatment is tailored to the needs and goals of each individual. In addition, I believe effective therapy addresses the needs of the whole person, not just their symptoms and diagnoses. In my work I strive to be empathic, genuine, curious, and perseverant.
Currently, in addition to providing clinical services, I also supervise clinical psychology doctoral students as an Adjunct Clinical Supervisor at Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University.
I received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University. I completed my APA-accredited predoctoral internship at Manhattan Psychiatric Center, a state psychiatric hospital, and I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania where I trained under Dr. Aaron T. Beck, the father of CBT, with a focus on Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy. Throughout my career I have worked in several different settings including community mental health clinics, hospital-based outpatient programs, private practices, and acute hospitals.
