Great to meet you!

As a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience, including across corporate and academic settings, I deliver dedicated, continuous therapy throughout New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Virginia. Through convenient telehealth, I am also able to provide flexible, uninterrupted care for individuals living, working, or studying across state lines.

You already have the capacity, strength, and motivation to create a life that feels clearer and more fulfilling—sometimes you just need the right tools, perspective, and partnership to unlock it. If you are ready to move past repetitive patterns, stop feeling stuck, and actively build momentum toward real, lasting change, you are in the right place.

My approach to therapy

Therapy works best when it is an active, empowering collaboration. My practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Rather than spending sessions endlessly unpacking the past or getting caught in what isn't working, we focus on where you are right now and build practical, realistic paths forward toward the future you want to create.

You have within you the ability to take ownership of your healing and growth. My role is not to fix things for you, but to serve as a steady guide and advocate—helping you see your potential clearly and navigate the process with confidence. I believe in balancing deep empathy with firm, direct truth—offering a supportive space that encourages real accountability, psychological flexibility, and self-efficacy:

  • Uncovering Your Strengths: We identify the resilience and resources you already carry so you can step into your own strength and make choices aligned with your values.
  • Building Practical Momentum: Solution-Focused therapy helps us shift from problem-focused thinking to possibility-focused action—taking small, intentional steps that build real, lasting momentum.
  • Reframing Unhelpful Cycles: Through CBT, you will learn to recognize automatic thought patterns, challenge assumptions keeping you stuck, and respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity & control.
  • Supportive Accountability: I serve as a steady partner who holds you to the commitments you make to yourself, helping you stay focused on your goals even when motivation dips.

What you can expect from me

Ready to take the first step?

You don't have to wait for everything to feel perfect before you begin. Meaningful change starts with showing up for yourself today—consistently, courageously, and one step at a time. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, addiction, trauma, fears or phobias, self-doubt, a major life change, or simply a feeling that something isn’t right, my goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and taken seriously.

Please note that Psychologists do not have the ability to prescribe medication in the State of New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, or Virginia.
