Thank you for taking the first and courageous step as you consider selecting a clinician who will be a good match for you. I am a licensed psychologist in New York and Texas. My training and experience is from Cognitive Behavioral and Attachment Theory frameworks. I strongly believe in providing people with coping and problem solving skills and concrete strategies to decrease symptoms and improve well being. I have been in private practice for well over a decade. I was previously a psychologist and Clinical Instructor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

I work primarily with millennials and college students who are going through radical life transitions such as moving, beginning/ending relationships, making career changes, and loss and grief. I also assist those wanting to resolve past traumatic experiences. Life transitions, even positive ones, can leave us feeling alone, stuck, confused, anxious, and even, despairing. My treatment with you will be tailored to your goals, preferences, and desired outcomes for therapy. I treat each of my clients with respect and provide an atmosphere full of safety and free of judgment.

Hello and welcome to my practice. Many stressors in the modern world may make you feel overwhelmed and struggle to cope. Perhaps you are feeling unfulfilled in one or more areas. You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, coping through substance use, or other mental health struggles that are impacting your quality of life. Seeking psychotherapy is not an easy step and requires the courage to choose to be vulnerable in entrusting your honest thoughts and feelings to a stranger. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment to explore issues that are important to you.

I work with adults of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety and life transitions. As a queer woman, I understand the existing barriers around access to mental health support in queer and trans communities; I have worked with many queer and trans clients surrounding issues of trauma, identity development, self-exploration and more. Having had training in couples therapy, I also specialize in work with couples and relationships focusing on intimacy, communication and conflict management.

Feeling stuck? Depression and anxiety can be part of the problem, and I am here to listen and to help. I offer approaches and useful tools that provide relief and an understanding of the underlying causes for these problems. I specialize in helping people with career obstacles, relationship problems, ADHD, highly sensitive personalities, and neurodiversity challenges. I also can help with creative blocks and learning how to tap into creative potential in life, art or career. My hope is to work as a team to help you identify what your needs and goals are and put you on the best path to greater happiness.

Our mental health is equally important as our physical well-being and I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental and open environment to foster introspection and personal growth. Due to our life circumstances, unique experiences, thought patterns and previous traumas, I deeply understand the need to reassess and improve our quality of life.

As an existential therapist specializing in OCD, depression, and anxiety, I invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. In our sessions, we'll explore the depth of your existence, including your thoughts, emotions, and being. Together, we'll confront the existential dilemmas that underlie your challenges, uncovering meaning and purpose amidst the chaos. With a compassionate and person-centered approach, I aim to guide you towards greater self-awareness, acceptance, and empowerment. Let's ease our way into a profound exploration of the self, illuminating the path towards healing and wholeness.

It's getting more and more difficult to resist your compulsions. You're getting upset with yourself for not having enough "willpower." You're having frightening thoughts about yourself and others. Thoughts that scare you or contradict your values and who you are as a person. You experience self-hate every time you give into a compulsion. You're exhausted by your own mental and/or physical compulsions. You struggle to trust yourself and often experience shame surrounding your thoughts. You keep it all to yourself because you fear that others will judge you or betray you. Simultaneously, you need emotional support more than ever.

Change can happen in an instant depending on a belief system. I work with recognizing, changing, and replacing faulty belief systems. The ability to relax and enjoy- while remaining vigilant to success and threats- comes by fighting the fire at the base. We take three roads: The thought (cognitive behavioral therapy), the feeling (psychodynamic), and the behavior (Pavlov/Skinner-behaviorism).
