Hello! I am an experienced licensed clinical psychologist. My orientation is relational psychodynamic, which means my clients and I approach problems through the lens of past and current relationships. My style is minimally structured and highly client-centered: you set the agenda and the pace. I also use cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and family-systems techniques where they fit best. I see individuals and couples age 13 through older adults. My areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, developmental issues, personality/characterological concerns, and relationship issues, among others.
I earned my BA from Yale University, post-bac training at Columbia University, and doctorate from Long Island University Brooklyn. I've trained at Beth Israel Medical Center in NYC and the VA hospital in CT, and have worked with university students at Fairfield University, the University of New Haven, and Long Island University.
Choosing a therapist can be very difficult! I'm happy to speak with you over the phone to answer questions about me and how I work, and start the conversation about whether we might be a good fit.
