Title
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Description of Practice/Services Offered
I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma/PTSD, the challenges of young adulthood, and pregnancy/postpartum emotional health. I offer a warm and collaborative approach to help individuals improve areas of their lives that they are inspired to change, to understand themselves better, and heal from varying degrees of emotional suffering. I offer individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults, and I am trained in psychodynamic, CBT, mindfulness and DBT techniques. My style is active and engaged, and I aspire to create a therapeutic space where my clients will feel safe and comfortable. I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship is at the heart of successful treatment. I view trust, honesty, and humor as key ingredients to forming an effective working relationship with my clients.
My academic and clinical training includes work at Long Island University, Brooklyn, Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center, the Rebecca School, Mount Sinai St. Luke’s and Mount Sinai West Hospitals, and the Rosemary Furman Counseling Center at Barnard College. Prior to beginning my doctoral training, I worked at Weill Cornell Medical College’s Institute of Geriatric Psychiatry, where I worked within a team of researchers investigating the treatment of geriatric mood disorders.
I am happy to conduct a free phone consultation prior to meeting.
