Are you looking for an active, evidence-based approach to address trauma, overwhelming emotions, anxiety, or addiction? If you feel stuck in sadness, fear, worry, or shame, we will use proven techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, and mindfulness to not just reduce your symptoms, but help you build a life worth living. Together, we will identify and understand beliefs or patterns of response that hold you back. With compassion and humor, I will help you stop avoiding, face your fears, and live according to the values and goals that matter most to you. I am licensed in CA (30891), NY (021345), VA (0810008541) and FL (TPPY1954).
I specialize in treating PTSD/trauma, addiction, BPD, mood disorders including bipolar I & II, and anxiety disorders. I have significant experience as a psychologist in comprehensive DBT programs, as well as in outpatient & inpatient trauma and substance use clinics. I previously served a Clinical Instructor of Psychiatry at NYU/Bellevue.
Our relationship is a critical component of therapy. I offer a free consultation call so that we can determine if we are a good fit. Starting or changing therapy can be intimidating, but I strive to help you make meaningful and substantive changes early in the therapy process. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds & am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.
