I have over fifteen years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families; as well as psycho-educational testing and assessments; to children, adolescents, and adults of all age ranges.

I am a clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience working with people struggling with relationship issues, creative blocks, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic and acute illness (including cancer), and trauma. My style is pragmatic and flexible; there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to individual therapy. I listen with empathy to create a safe environment, while also providing valuable and straightforward feedback. In addition to therapy, I offer psychological evaluation services: assessment of neuro-cognitive functioning and emotional dynamics, as well as pre-adoptive parental evaluations.

In practice I use a pragmatic, results-oriented approach and am not tethered to one particular psychoanalytic modality. Rather, recognizing each patient has unique needs, I draw from many therapeutic approaches that best fit each patient. In my practice, I can quickly assess which techniques will work best to meet each client's individual needs to show patients that they can have the right tools to reach their optimal comfort level in their careers, families, and relationships. The goal is bridging the gap and finding the most productive pathway between where clients are and where they want to be.

I am a clinical psychologist providing therapy and assessment services in Scarsdale and Greenwich.

Furthermore, I have extensive experience in conducting psychological assessments. Therapeutically, I focus on developing teens and adults, where as I provide assessments for all ages.

I specialize in a condition called psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) or dissociative seizures. This is a psychological condition in which emotional stress is "converted" into physical symptoms that look a lot like epileptic seizures. Most patients come to our program when they have seizures that are not responding. Once a patient is diagnosed with PNES and is referred to see me, I offer therapies designed to target the main symptoms (seizures, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and stress coping). Many adult patients diagnosed with PNES have traumatic histories and need trauma-based therapies. I am certified in prolonged exposure and use this to treat those patients.

Clients (or their families) typically present with concerns about cognitive functioning or behavior and the impact of such on their daily lives such as at work, at school, at home, or socially. They often have questions about diagnoses and what services or accommodations would be helpful for them. They have concerns about the future and how to best manage their difficulties. Ideal patients are motivated to work together to find answers that make sense and strategies that they can actually use in daily life.

Healing can happen with the courage to understand one’s own life story. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey toward prioritizing emotional well-being, promoting healthier behaviors and routines, and fostering self-compassion. This journey often includes examining the dynamic challenges that impact our relationships.

Most importantly, I prioritize doing this work in a warm and supportive environment.

I believe that each person wants to find fulfillment in life, and that through the therapeutic relationship, we can work together to achieve this goal.
