Hello there; I am a New York State licensed clinical psychologist available to see adults for individual psychotherapy through telehealth. I am deeply committed to my clinical work and consider it a great privilege to be able to join you on your journey to healing. I specialize in trauma (chronic and acute) and grief and bereavement and also enjoy working with concerns such as anxiety and major depression, relationships and family concerns, and adjustment to life transitions (including but not limited to parenthood, divorce, the death of a loved one, receiving and coping with difficult medical diagnoses, and living through changes of the body in terms of functioning and appearance). I have worked as a palliative care psychologist, and I also have experience working with caregivers whose children have died or who were separated from them.

I strive to create a warm, open, and inviting space that lays a foundation for our collaborative therapeutic relationship, given that it is in our relationships that we understand ourselves, others, and the world around us. We can re-engage in growth and recovery from old relational wounds through healing relationships. I hope our relationship can be an essential vehicle for change, with you in the driver’s seat and beside me.

My work is grounded in humanistic psychology and uses a relational constructivism framework. I also have extensive training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and cognitive processing therapy (CPT). As my client, I want you to know that you are in the company of a professional who employs interventions informed by your needs as you express them to me and the latest research in psychology and mental health.

Getting professional psychological help is a significant decision for many, as it requires the not-so-easy practice of openness. Sharing what you may have never shared with another before, or perhaps you have done so and felt hurt and disappointment— is a risk for many. I see your faith and trust in me to show up for you as sacred. I plan to show up for you to help you see that there is hope for healing within our relationship and beyond.
I hope to help you better navigate life’s challenges, reclaim your authentic voice and narrative, and create the rich, whole, and meaningful life you may have only dreamed of.
