I am a licensed clinical psychologist with offices in Manhattan, NY, working with relationships, couples, and individuals for over 15 years. I offer in-person intensives in NYC and virtual ongoing weekly treatment. Additionally, I am a registered telehealth provider in Florida.

I earned my Doctoral Degree (Ph.D.) in Clinical Psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University, NJ, and my Master’s Degree (Ed.M.) in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University, NY. I am trained in several cutting-edge approaches. I received advanced training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and was trained directly by Dr. Linehan, a founder of this model. I completed my post-graduate training at Derner School of Psychology, Adelphi University, NY, receiving my Certificate in Psychoanalytic Therapy and advanced postgraduate training in couples therapy.

I am an advanced-level EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy) and Gottman-trained (Level 3) couples therapist. I’m also a Certified Discernment Counselor trained by the Doherty Relationship Institute to treat “mixed agenda” couples where one or both partners may be considering divorce.

But equally importantly, I am a fellow human.

As Carl Rogers wisely said:

“Before every session, I take a moment to remember my humanity. There is no experience that this man has that I cannot share with him, no fear I cannot understand, no suffering that I cannot care about because I too am human. No matter how deep his wound, he does not need to be ashamed in front of me. I too am vulnerable. And because of this, I am enough. Whatever his story, he no longer needs to be alone with it. This is what will allow his healing to begin.”
