About My Clients
My clients are a diverse group of individuals and couples who are seeking ways to cope with difficult life challenges and find ways to move towards personal growth. My individual clients typically come to treatment to improve their mood, address disordered eating, or find ways to connect with important people in their lives. My couples usually are trying to find ways to remain connected in the face of conflict or find new, more vulnerable ways of communicating with each other.
My Background and Approach
With each patient, I start from a place of genuine compassion and empathic attunement, and then I look to a variety of therapeutic perspectives to help individualize treatment for each patient. I have been lucky to receive training in numerous treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based approaches, and Emotion Focused Therapy. I integrate these perspectives to create a warm, accepting therapeutic style that is informed by clinical science, and I also emphasize the unique personal values, identities, and cultural backgrounds of each client and couple with whom I work. I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology from the College of William and Mary and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from St. John’s University. I participated in clinical training in hospitals and clinics throughout NYC, and after my training, I served as a Staff Psychologist at VA NY Harbor and a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU School of Medicine.
