I am collaborative, empathic and person-oriented. I am interested in helping people identify their strengths as well as their struggles. I value humor. I make use of the evolving relationship between myself and my patient to understand the patterns my patients experience with others. Primarily, I work in a relational psychodynamic/psychoanalytic way. To me, this modality works best to get underneath the symptoms people experience and treats those symptoms at their roots.

My practice includes the following services:

Individual therapy: I work one on one with people at my office in Brooklyn Heights and/or on Zoom.

Couples therapy: I work with same and mixed gender couples experiencing difficulties in their relationship, and often contemplating change, whether it be taking the next step to move in together, marry, pursue having children or separate and break up.

Group therapy: I lead groups for stepparents, supporting and exploring the unique challenges that face them.

I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from City College/The Graduate School & University of New York. I have worked in community mental health clinics, college counseling centers, and major hospitals (New York Presbyterian and Maimonides Medical Center). These settings afforded exposure to a wide range of patients and therapeutic modalities including Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emergency/Crisis Psychiatry, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, individual therapy and group therapy. I incorporate elements of all these modalities in my practice.
