I specialize in working with people who experience intense emotions like anxiety, sadness, or anger in response to major changes, trauma, or life adjustments. If you're looking for a psychologist who incorporates evidence-based practices while flexibly tailoring treatment to meet your unique obstacles, you've come to the right place! Whether you want to stop worrying or feel more confident, we'll consider how your inner emotional world interacts with the greater cultural context surrounding you. Let's meet if you're open to changing your thoughts, habits and perspective- or simply want someone to understand your point of view!
I have an extensive background helping people in high-stress work and training environments, including healthcare workers, veterans, and students. I draw from Cognitive-Behavioral, Dialectical-Behavioral, and Acceptance and Commitment therapies and customize coping strategies to your identity and lived experience- which we will unpack together.
I’m so glad you’ve made it to my page. As a bicoastal psychologist offering therapy services in California and New York, I support individuals, couples, and families. I am proud of, and impressed by, your decision to feel better and become emotionally whole. And I’m humbled to have the privilege of helping you through the exciting, scary, magical process!
