I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in New York City. I primarily work with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, or identity concerns. Many who see me for therapy are experiencing symptoms such as excessive fear, struggles to engage life in ways they desire, or are simply struggling to connect meaningfully with others. I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Long Island University, C. W. Post and completed my internship at the Manhattan VA. I then received specialized training on my fellowship in LGBTQ+ Health at the Chicago Hines VA.
My clinical work is informed by my primary theoretical orientations, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral. Our work together would be a blend of deeply exploring your current situation, past and present significant relationships, and practical skills to use to help experience your emotions and relationships in a more fulfilling way. For those seeking treatment for past trauma, I use a treatment called EMDR to help clients heal from traumatic experiences.
I have worked for several nonprofits and in a variety of hospital settings. Outside of my private practice, I work as a psychologist for the Manhattan VA in New York City on their clinical resource hub.
