Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing therapy to people of all ages who seek to improve their lives. I was trained at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in humanistic/existential counseling and received my PhD in Clinical Psychology at Columbia University in dynamic and cognitive behavioral therapies. Over the years, I have specialized in child/adolescent treatment, including parental support; over the years my practice has expanded to include young adults struggling with anxiety and depression, women seeking to positively transform their lives and couples work.

My approach to therapy

My approach is multifaceted and I believe strongly in collaboration - we work together to find the approach that best suits you. My style is at the same time flexible, as is my treatment approach. My techniques and interventions range from dynamic - looking at how your early life affects your current choices and cognitive behavior, learning new skills or approaches to manage life's difficulties or stressors.

What you can expect from me

My primary goal is to help you identify and address the challenges that are impeding growth and positive change. So our sessions will include an initial meeting to your needs and subsequently, develop a plan on how we move forward. Since therapy is a dynamic process, we also work in sessions to align the therapy to address your changing needs or goals.
