Welcome! I’m Dr. Lara (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and owner of a private practice in New York City. I work with clients across the states of New York and Florida. I have developed specialized expertise in anxiety and related disorders (including OCD, panic, trauma, and sleep difficulties), the perinatal period, and relationships with self and others, while also bringing broad experience from diverse clinical settings. I work with adult individuals and couples and also provide psychological testing and evaluations for all ages.
I offer personalized, depth-oriented, and evidence-based care that is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and relational. By integrating psychodynamic, behavioral, and mindfulness strategies, I can help you to explore your experiences, build coping skills, and navigate emotional distress to guide you toward lasting and meaningful change.
My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can speak freely about whatever is on your mind. Together, we'll explore how your past shapes your present and work toward insight, individualized goals, healing, and growth. Visit my linked website to learn more, contact me directly, and schedule a free consultation on my Calendly now.
