I believe real healing begins when you feel seen, heard, and supported. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not like yourself, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll work to understand what you’re going through, build tools to manage emotions, and help you feel more grounded and connected in life. I work with children, teens, and adults using evidence-based approaches that feel practical, supportive, and personal. When helpful, I collaborate directly with psychiatrists and incorporate non-invasive options like Neurofeedback and BrainView as alternatives or complements to medication management to support deeper insight and progress.

I am a training analyst and supervisor at NPAP and Blanton-Peale Institute, and a professor at CUNY. I use a psychodynamic approach allied with an interpersonal or relational orientation.
I interact with clients as they come to grips with the hurtful circumstances of the past- or recent events- that have undermined self-esteem or their sense of self and resulted in poor personal choices and decision making in the present.
I understand the persistence of unproductive or destructive modes of behavior, or the difficulty of seeing oneself in a new, hopeful light and acting in accord with such insight.
