In Person - NYC/Grand Central area. Telehealth - NY, CT, FL

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a private practice near Grand Central in Manhattan, offering both in-person psychotherapy and telehealth services. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University, and completed my clinical internship at St. Luke’s–Roosevelt Hospital.

I have held faculty, teaching, and clinical supervisory positions at Columbia University, Teachers College, the New York State Psychiatric Institute, and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. My clinical and research background includes specialized training in the treatment of panic disorder and social anxiety. I have also served on the executive board of the Women’s Mental Health Consortium of New York for over a decade.

My extensive clinical and research experience informs an integrative, evidence-based approach tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. I draw on psychodynamic psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT, including mindfulness-based), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), to provide thoughtful, personalized care. I believe that integrating scientific knowledge, clinical expertise, and a genuine understanding of each individual is essential to creating meaningful and lasting change.

Successful treatment is based on a warm, supportive, collaborative, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment, in which the client can comfortably explore issues and experience a good connection with the therapist

I strive to help my patients overcome avoidance, break free from patterns that leave them feeling stuck, build healthier relationships, strengthen self-esteem, and move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Our work together focuses on deepening self-awareness, gaining insight into longstanding emotional and relational patterns, and developing practical skills to navigate life’s challenges. Through this process, patients can experience meaningful change, heal from painful experiences, and find relief from distressing symptoms such as anxiety, panic, and depression.

I provide therapy in both English and Hebrew.
