I'm a licensed psychologist practicing in New York City, seeing children, adults, and couples. I am currently taking new patients, virtually and in person, at my office in Midtown near Bryant Park.

I think that gaining insight into ourselves can free us to live more aware and fulfilling lives, while making practical changes to our behavior can meaningfully impact our wellbeing and relationships. My therapy style is warm and straight-forward, and I act like my real self in sessions. I feel especially well-suited for clients who are curious about themselves, who want to engage deeply with the therapy process, and who see cultivating insight as a key goal of therapy. I draw mostly from cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic modalities in my work with adults, but I tailor my approach based on each person's needs and what resonates with them.

In my work with children and families, I specialize in cognitive behavioral treatments for anxiety disorders as well as disruptive/oppositional behavior. I lean most heavily on family-centered treatments, though in some cases I center individual work with the child. I also have particularly deep expereince in providing affirming, evidence-based care for transgender and gender diverse youth.

Areas of Specialty:

  • ERP for OCD and other anxiety disorders
  • CBT and BA for depression
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD
  • Psychodynamic psychotherapy
  • Parent Management Training (PMT) for ADHD and/or oppositional behavior
  • Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE)
  • Gender affirming psychotherapy for gender diverse youth
