Hi, I am a clinical psychologist licensed in New York State. People come to me for all kinds of emotional and relational challenges. I found myself work particularly well with those who have relational trauma in their family of origin, those who struggle to find themselves or trust themselves, those who experience perpetual unhappiness or loneliness despite their achievement, as well as those who genuinely seek to understand themselves deeply. I have a passion serving immigrants, expatriates, international students, the LGBTQ+ community and the marginalized, and I have worked closely with these populations over the years.

I provide psychotherapy for adolescents, college students, and adults; and I have over 20 years of experience working in clinical & academic settings.

I presented research at the American Psychological Association in Boston, and I keep abreast of changes in the field. As a professor, I taught a myriad of graduate courses including psychotherapy, psychological testing, and ethics.
