First and foremost, I believe the relationship and establishing comfort and trust is essential to successful treatment. During our first few initial sessions we will focus on getting to know one other and work together to establish your goals for therapy. Treatment looks different for every person I see, which is why I utilize an eclectic approach to psychotherapy that includes psychodynamic, interpersonal, and cognitive-behavioral interventions. I typically see clients 1-2 times per week for 45 minute sessions. I work closely with a wide network of psychiatrists, nutritionists, and other health care professionals should we agree that be a part of your treatment plan.

My practice specializes in the treatment of adolescents, young adults, and adults in the areas of eating disorders, body image issues, anxiety, depression, relationships, women's issues, pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum support and the immediate and lasting effects of trauma. I take an integrative approach to treatment - assessing the needs of each client and going from there..I formerly provided therapy and crisis intervention as a member of the NYU Student Counseling Center's Eating Disorder and Trauma teams. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy(REBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(TF-CBT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)..With complementary education in the areas of fitness, nutrition and mindfulness, I take a holistic approach in my work with individuals to help create positive lifestyle changes for whole body wellness. I hold a Masters in Social Work from New York University an
