Are you ready to embark on a journey of personal and professional growth and fulfillment with me? I am a Board Certified Clinical Psychologist who embodies a compassionate, understanding, and respectful therapeutic approach with all my clients. My expertise lies in identifying and treating psychological, emotional, and relationship issues, and I have been instrumental in getting individuals to achieve breakthroughs by revealing toxic secrets and long-standing issues. Our work together will enhance your ability to effectively communicate, identify triggers, break maladaptive patterns, and achieve your greatest potential in life.
I work with a diverse group of people including high-profile clients in business, entertainment, and technology to achieve their full potential and would do the same work to help you. I’ve also trained other psychologists and have a special interest and experience working with individuals and couples looking to create families, and the LGBTQ population.
I have a specialization in Marital and Family Therapy, received my clinical training at Bellevue Hospital & NYU-Langone Medical Center in NYC, a faculty appointment as Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU School of Medicine, and co-authored two children's books. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you imagined." H.D. Thoreau
