Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Stressed with this life stage? Problems with your marriage or sex life? Whether you are managing a recent stressor or a long-standing issue, talking with an experienced, doctoral psychologist can help you get the support you need! I specialize in individual, couples/marital therapy, & sex therapy. I love working with anxious college students and young adults, couples in the dating, marital or parenting life stage, teachers, police officers, nurses, as well as women dealing with perimenopause and those facing stressors in the older adulthood life stage.
I'm licensed in NJ, NY, and across most of the U.S.! I offer a confidential space for you to tell your story, without judgment. I hold a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and have training in a variety of psychotherapy approaches (Psychodynamic; CBT; Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples - level 2 trained; Gottman), as well as in sex therapy.
My interpersonal style is warm and engaging, with an approach that is open-minded, attentive and respectful of my clients' experiences. My clients appreciate my good memory, caring focus, and professionalism. If we work together, I will help you make progress towards your goals!
