After receiving my doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with a focus on couples, I completed my internship in trauma at Cornell Medical School in NYC. My post-doctoral fellowship was in addictions at Mt. Sinai Hospital, NYC. I built my career in NYC, integrating & disseminating evidence-based treatment methods and models for multiple organizations including Columbia University's Faculty Practice, Bronx-Lebanon Hospital, and the Hazelden-Betty Ford Foundation where I served as the Executive Director. I have taught and mentored therapists and psychiatry residents, as well as published on the topics of marriage and domestic violence.
I tailor my approach based on your needs. With couples, my approach is informed by Emotion Focused Therapy and Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy. With individuals struggling with anxiety, trauma, substance abuse and other mental health concerns, my approach is informed by Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, 12-Step Facilitation, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
I have mentored thousands of therapists/psychiatrists and healthcare professionals over the course of my career through direct supervision, building programs in hospital and outpatient settings, and/or through teaching Motivational Interviewing and Couples Therapy workshops.

I provide couples with skills to change the "dance" they engage in regarding differences they have while also helping each partner understand the vulnerabilities that get triggered by the relationship dynamic. I use a combination of acceptance and change strategies to help couples achieve a stronger connection, better communication, and increased trust.
