Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist offering telehealth therapy for adults across New York. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology and completed extensive training in therapy, assessment, and evidence-based care. In addition to my work in private practice, I have experience in forensic, clinical, and community settings, which allows me to support a wide range of client needs.

My approach to therapy

I use an integrative framework that combines relational, interpersonal, and psychodynamic therapy with DBT-informed strategies. This allows for both deeper exploration of longstanding patterns and the development of concrete tools for managing emotions and stress. My work is tailored to each client's needs, helping you gain insight, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next steps. Maybe you're navigating stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or patterns that no longer serve you. My ideal client is someone who wants a space to feel understood and supported while gaining clarity and confidence in themselves. You don’t have to have everything figured out, you just have to be willing to begin.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer thoughtful, evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique needs. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and helping you make meaningful, lasting change. Together, we will build insight, strengthen emotional resilience, and create practical strategies that support your goals.

Therapy is a meaningful investment in yourself. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, know that you are not expected to figure it out alone. You deserve care that feels grounded, thoughtful, and truly centered on your needs.
