Great to meet you!

I am a Colorado transplant originally from New York. I received my bachelor’s degree with honors in psychology from New York University. Following my time at NYU, I completed American Psychological Association-accredited doctoral training in clinical psychology at St. John’s University in New York, and I then completed an APA-accredited internship at Nassau University Medical Center. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, hiking and snowshoeing, and attending sporting events.

My approach to therapy

I provide psychotherapy for those with various difficulties in living, using techniques that are evidence-based. Psychotherapy can help build coping skills for the present and future. In addition to working with diverse individuals across the lifespan, my work focuses on those with chronic medical conditions. I work best with individuals who are looking to develop or refine coping skills and relaxation techniques as well as those who are looking to develop insight into their difficulties.

What you can expect from me

I have ample experience providing integrative psychotherapies. My practice has involved individuals from various backgrounds and with various life difficulties. I have worked extensively with those struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, personality disorders, relationship distress, and occupational/educational distress.
