As an Associate Clinical Professor at Yale Department of psychiatry, I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 20 years. My therapeutic approach is to help individuals and couples better understand the conflicts in their life and find healthy ways to resolve or cope with them tapping into their strengths and their social support. In addition to my private practice, I have been working at the Department of Veterans Affairs for many years as a supervisory psychologist and I have published extensively in the field. I have also supervised and trained psychologists and psychiatrists in psychotherapy both in the US and abroad.

You might be feeling “stuck”, or like a part of your story still affects you more than you’d like it to. Maybe what you’ve been doing just isn’t working anymore, and you’re struggling to move forward. In therapy, we’ll work together to help you find meaning, peace, and a more effective way out of the behaviors that just aren't working for you anymore. I’ve learned that everybody has a story, usually one of resilience, compassion, and courage— and my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, space for you to share yours.

At any point in life, by circumstance or choice, we may lose our internal compass. Maybe you’re stuck on autopilot, weighed down by your own thoughts, or drifting aimlessly through life. You may wonder why certain relationships feel strained and why you can’t seem to fix it. Acquiring a deeper understanding for what drives our behavior can help us regain direction and realign our internal compass. Meaningful change comes from embracing our shadows, our unwanted thoughts, and emotions. It is in this discomfort that we find growth. However, the idea of doing this alone can feel daunting.

Emotional pain distorts our view of the world. The longer our pain lasts, the more unhappy we become. Unlike a well meaning friend or relative, a therapist can consider your concerns from a fresh, objective, perspective. But a therapist will not solve your problems for you; he will guide you by listening, questioning and observing—- so that you can find your own answers when extreme unhappiness, overwhelming anxiety or fear, feelings of inadequacy and low self esteem, sexual problems, and traumatic events interfere with your life or relationships with others.

I work with people who’ve carried a lot for a long time, always strong for others, but worn thin inside. They’re ready for something different: to slow down, breathe, and finally feel like themselves again. They want calm, connection, and a sense of ease that lasts. Together, we make space to heal what’s been buried, untangle old patterns, and build steadiness from the inside out, so life starts to feel lighter, clearer, and more their own.

Forensic Psychology Therapists
How does forensic psychology work?
Forensic psychology works by providing those in the legal system with expert information about psychology and behavior that they wouldn’t otherwise have. Forensic psychologists do this through a range of services—conducting psychological assessments for court cases, assisting police officers with investigations, providing expert opinion, helping with mediation, and providing mental health care to victims or perpetrators of crimes.
Can a forensic psychologist help with child custody cases?
Yes. In the event that it’s needed, an attorney or judge may appoint a forensic psychologist to provide an assessment and recommendation. This process involves multiple interviews with the child, the parent (or parents), and sometimes others. The psychologist assesses the parent’s mental health, strengths and weaknesses, and parenting practices to understand what’s in the child’s best interest. They then complete a report with recommendations based on their assessment.
Do forensic psychologists help solve crimes?
In some cases they do. For example, criminal profiling involves collaborating with law enforcement officers to construct a profile of a perpetrator based on psychology, personality, and behavior as suggested by the crime in order to focus the investigation. They may also offer expert input on subjects related to a case such as deception, false confessions, and the reliability of testimony based on eyewitness accounts.
How long do people typically work with a forensic psychologist?
The length of time an individual works with a forensic psychologist depends on the relevant service. For example, if a forensic psychologist is conducting a psychological assessment for a court case, this may take one to two sessions to complete (although they can be more extensive). If the forensic psychologist is providing therapy to someone accused or convicted of a crime, treatment may last for several months or more.
