Welcome. I run a non-judgmental practice serving adults struggling with OCD, PTSD, anxiety, and related conditions. My approach is warm and practical, providing evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs and goals. As a specialist in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness, I can provide researched-back strategies to help you enhance your life while also creating space to grow self-understanding and awareness.

When I started my career over 20 years ago, my focus was children and adolescents, and it has evolved to include couples, adults, and families. Self actualization, self love, self care, finding one's purpose, and the motivation to realize that purpose have been my forte. If you want to go on a journey of self discovery which informs who and how you are in your relationships with others and with yourself, I am here to help.

People come to therapy when they are looking for new ways to move in the world. Sometimes it's a slow realization that what worked in the past isn't cutting it anymore. Other times, it's a sudden, painful event that leaves you feeling unmoored. Maybe it's been a long-running sense that your experiences or emotions are just different from the people around you. In therapy, we work together to find a new path so that you can feel grounded, happier, and more confident.

Whether you want to feel better quickly or spend more time exploring long held patterns there is a therapy that is right for you.

I am a clinical psychologist experienced in working with individuals and couples around a variety of emotional and life challenges, including grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and substance abuse. I specialize in working with women and couples dealing with challenges around pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum depression/anxiety, and adjustment to parenting. I also see mothers and infants together to address issues in attachment and communication. My orientation is primarily psychodynamic and interpersonal, although I am trained in CBT , DBT, and CPT and do integrate these strategies as needed.

I am a mindfully compassionate licensed psychologist with a temperament that is innately optimistic. Over the past 25 years, I am grateful to have had many opportunities to provide evidence based therapeutic services to a diverse client population that encompass a wide range of cultures, developmental ages and psychiatric issues. As a passionate life-long student, I obtained a doctor of psychology degree in Applied Psychology from New York University Steinhardt School of Human Development and Education as well as a master’s of science in education and an advanced certificate in school psychology from Brooklyn College.

I typically work with adults and adolescents whose lives feel chaotic and out of control with unrelenting misery and emotional suffering. My practice is dedicated to equipping these individuals with the tools needed to accept emotional pain, eliminate harmful ways of coping, and build lives that reward them with purpose and meaning. My approach is open, direct, and compassionate. I speak and interact with clients as my authentic self in a therapeutic relationship.

As a psychotherapist, I have found that cultivating a genuinely curious and accepting relationship with oneself is essential for growth. Effective therapy facilitates this investigation; I am dedicated to helping people find greater fulfillment and success in their pursuits, develop more satisfying relationships, alleviate distressing symptoms, and discover comfort and confidence with themselves. Together, our work will address the barriers, behaviors, and past issues that inhibit change, in order to improve present day problems and symptoms and help you more fully inhabit your strengths.

I work with adolescents and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, career stress and life transitions, self-esteem and body image, sexuality and gender identity, and relationship and interpersonal issues. I will support you in challenging the thoughts and beliefs that aren’t serving you anymore and creating more space for kindness and change within yourself. We will work together to build all the skills you need to become a secure, confident, and empowered person who feels ready to face all that life has to offer.

As a licensed psychotherapy I work with individuals, couples, families and adolescents (13+). My work with families and couples focuses on lack of communication, life transitions & changes, loss of intimacy and learning coping skills to regulate emotional and behavioral issues that have been identified. I specialize in adolescents and adults struggling with self-esteem, identity formation, relationships issues, anxiety and depression.

I specialize in using CBT and solution-based approaches to help people make lasting changes to their self-image that lead to real changes in their lives. My approach is hands on, goal-oriented, strengths based, & gender and identity affirming. I help clients challenge unrealistic and self-limiting patterns of thinking, deconstruct who they are from who they have learned to be, learn how to feel safe & regulated in their body, identify options for difficult life situations that align with their values, & learn the skills to meet their needs e.g. assertiveness, boundary setting, communication, mindfulness, relaxation & grounding.

I believe in a collaborative approach between client and therapist. Together we can explore your strengths and challenges to identify meaningful goals and work towards improvement. You are an expert on yourself and your needs. I am here to listen, support you and give you tools to heal past traumas, strengthen interpersonal relationships and build resilience. As we explore your history and your aspirations, I will guide, teach and support you. We will examine patterns that no longer serve you so you can build a healthy relationship with yourself and with others.

I am a culturally competent, trauma-informed psychotherapist who believes in a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I work with individuals, couples, and polyamorous, nonmonogamous, multi-partner relationships using a holistic approach to psychological and emotional wellness.

Psychotherapy can be challenging, but it is a rewarding process. Most people come in to discuss the problems in their lives. They often forget about what is going well, and what are their natural talents and abilities. Psychotherapy helps you reclaim yourself. We will augment your natural coping skills to help you develop a new freedom and a new happiness at work and in your relationships...in approaching your life.

Are you seeking a life that feels more joyful, connected and in-control? With the right support, you can be happier, more deeply connected to yourself and other people, and gain control over extreme emotions or behaviors. In my practice, I encourage patients to investigate thought patterns, engage in mindful exercises and explore ways of knowing which access the unconscious. My approach is warm, open and practical and geared towards helping you deepen self-awareness and self-knowing. Whatever your personal goal is, we can work on it together.

Are you struggling with the current state of the world? Are you feeling frustrated with your work life? Are you finding that you end up in the same kind of relationships that just leave you feeling alone? Are you feeling overly stressed? Sometimes people come to therapy knowing what is wrong, and other times they come with just a feeling that something isn't right. Often, difficult thoughts, feelings, and past experiences prevent us from being comfortable with who we are, what we want, and the kinds of relationships that we want to have with others. I help you work through whatever is in your way.
