About My Clients

My clients are almost always looking to relieve emotional distress, change habits, or perform at their best. My specialities include a focus on trauma, school or work difficulty, and substance use, and I also offer psychological assessment. I have extensive experience working with a variety of populations in schools, clinics, treatment centers, and hospitals.

My Background and Approach

I offer a flexible, integrative approach built on a foundation of science-backed tools and techniques. My training at Columbia and subsequent role as Assistant Professor in Psychiatry at Mt. Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine afforded me the opportunity to serve and learn from many clients in need alongside exceptional mentors and colleagues. I continue to hold the values of teaching, learning, and collaborating as central to my work, while striving to meet each person exactly where they are.
