Hello and welcome! I am a clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience helping people to improve their lives. I work with children, adolescents and adults struggling with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. My education and training is extensive and diverse with a EdM from Harvard University and a PhD from Columbia University. I see clients from all backgrounds and walks of life. Therefore my approach is tailored to best meet your needs. Together, our goal is to help you build a better life by supporting your growth and change.
I specialize in psychodynamic, attachment-based, cognitive-behavioral (CBT, DBT) & somatic approaches. For children and adolescents I treat the range of anxiety and mood issues and provide parenting education and family support. I also treat adults and couples to help improve communication, manage life transitions and resolve emotional issues and trauma.
When you're struggling, life can feel constantly unfinished, leaving you overwhelmed, stressed and sometimes hopeless. Together, we address these challenges and then work to provide you with the insight and skills to create positive, lasting change. Let's look at your situation and help you develop a plan to move forward. You are worth it!

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral and mindfulness-based therapies.
