As a psychodynamic, trauma-informed therapist and psychoanalyst, I offer a space to explore relationships and the roles one plays in them, honoring strengths and uncovering the meanings that underlie challenging areas. Goals would include connecting thoughts and emotions, to enhance insight into how one moves through one's life and to increase healthier coping skills to stressors. I value diversity including but not limited to race, religion, sexuality, gender, and culture, working to understand how these aspects of identity influence a person’s experience of themselves, to provide an environment that fosters continuous growth in all areas of being.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual and couples psychotherapy for adults of all ages struggling with emotional distress, relationship and family issues, identity and self-esteem concerns, and significant life events and transitions (e.g., illness, separation, loss). My areas of clinical specialty include anxiety (e.g., chronic worry, social anxiety, phobias, OCD), perfectionism, depression and mood disorders, workplace issues (career identity, transition, workplace conflict), and identity concerns (e.g., sexual, gender, racial, ethnic identities, acculturative issues, coping with discrimination).

Trauma

Substance use disorders

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adolescents, college/graduate students, and adults. I specialize in helping people navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and substance use. I also bring in my neuropsych background to provide neuro-diversity affirming and strengths-based care. My approach is integrative, pulling from evidence-based therapies such as dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

I work relationally and psychodynamically with an attachment-based lens, which means that I care about how your issues from past experiences and relationships are impacting you today. I'm a fan of using psychoeducation to demystify the process of therapy.

I am a NYS Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience providing psychotherapy, neuropsychological evaluations, and critical case consultations for healthcare professionals.

Above all, I am committed to bringing empathy, openness, and honesty to the therapy space to foster growth and positive change.
