I recognize that every person is unique and that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to mental health treatment.

Teens, young adults and their families have been through an incredible amount of stress the past few years - and continue to do so. I specialize in working with high school and college-age students as well as adults struggling with issues that affect them on a daily basis and which might prevent them from moving forward in their lives.

There are many reasons why we seek therapy; and they differ in terms of how problems and circumstances influence our lives. I work with adults, teens, and couples seeking relief from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, poor self-assertion skills, identity issues, and life stressors (such as death of a loved one, divorce, job loss, career change). I also work with college students in NYC living away from family and support; young adults launching into adulthood in NYC; and helping couples find solutions to problems in an otherwise satisfying relationships. Out-of-network reimbursement options are available.

I truly love being a Psychologist and feel privileged to be a part of my patients' lives. I see adults of all ages in my New York City psychotherapy practice, which focuses on lawyers, other high level professionals, graduate students, in a safe and supportive environment. My style is an interactive one. It is important that you feel heard and understood.

People come to psychologists to find answers, get help, and feel better. Often the true nature and deep complexity of any challenge take time to reveal themselves. As a psychologist and neuropsychologist, I help children, families, and adults with the tools of psychotherapy, neuropsychological testing, legal/forensic evaluation, and consultation. My background in human development is central to my person-centered approach. My special interests include girls and women, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning disabilities, neurologic conditions, employment, and life transitions.

I love working with adults who feel stuck for any number of reasons. My approach to therapy is informed by two main ideas: first, that people are innately wired to heal, and second, that these healing capacities emerge when we feel safe. I devote part of my work to researching how people heal and transform and I do this at the AEDP Institute. I have been fortunate enough to publish and present my work in peer-reviewed academic journals, academic conferences and clinical trainings (e.g., AEDP Immersion) across the US and Canada.

Chronic pain and illness can have a significant impact on the lives of those living with it. They can take a toll on mental and emotional wellbeing, relationships, and the way we feel about ourselves. People often describe feeling frustrated with their body, unable to keep up with day to day tasks, or anxious for when they may feel unwell again. Interactions with the medical system and insurance companies can be exhausting and traumatic. Pain and illness can play a big part in our relationship dynamics; creating challenges with the people we care about most who want to help but don't seem to understand or know how.
