About 

IMG_1240_edited.jpg

I seek to help people manage the challenges they are facing and make real changes in their lives. In our work together, we will set goals, build a deeper understanding of maladaptive patterns, and learn more ways to manage the stress in your life. My specialty areas include anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, and parenting. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I offer individual, couples, and family therapy to adults and children of all ages. 

​

I graduated from Columbia University with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and trained at NYU Child Study Center, Columbia University Medical Center and New York State Psychiatric Institute. I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at NY Presbyterian, where I gained further expertise in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for the treatment of depression and anxiety.

​

I strive to maintain a warm and non-judgmental stance in therapy. I believe strongly in the collaborative process and will work actively with you to help achieve your therapeutic goals. I am happy to speak with you about any questions or concerns you may have about beginning therapy.
