I am a New York State licensed clinical psychologist (#024177), and am based on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I specialize in individual therapy for adolescents and adults. I sub-specialize in women’s issues, including perinatal mood and anxiety. I believe that successful therapy is largely based in the quality of the patient-therapist relationship, and I employ a warm and active approach in order to foster a collaborative environment for my patients to reach their therapeutic goals. 

I have a BA in English Literature from Columbia University’s Barnard College, and received my doctorate (PsyD) in psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University. I completed my APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship in clinical child, adolescent, and adult psychology at NYC Health & Hospitals Lincoln Medical Center, where I trained in psychodynamic treatment, as well as Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT), Family Based Therapy (FBT), and supervised psychology trainees. 

After completing my predoctoral training, I pursued additional postdoctoral training at two fellowship sites. I completed a one-and-a-half-year long postdoctoral fellowship at the William Alanson White Institute, where I trained intensively on the interplay of intrapsychic and interpersonal dynamics. I also completed postdoctoral work at the UWS Therapy Group, where I worked with young adults (20s and 30s) in the context of identity development and life changes. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including NYC private schools, interdisciplinary group practices, community based mental health clinics, outpatient hospital settings, and inpatient hospitals.
