Great to meet you!

Hello! With a doctorate in clinical and school psychology, I am a licensed clinical Psychologist and New York State certified School Psychologist with over 20 years of experience supporting children, teens, and families in school settings. I now work with individuals in private therapy who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and other emotional and behavioral challenges.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is individualized, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy serving as the foundation of my work. I draw on evidence‐based practices to tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs, values, and goals. My focus is on empowering clients to develop practical coping strategies, cultivate positive emotions, and recognize and change negative thinking and behavior patterns. I aim to help individuals strengthen resilience, build meaningful connections, and navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and effectiveness.

What you can expect from me

Starting from our first session, you can expect a warm, supportive space where you feel respected, heard, and understood. I will focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship with you centered on your values and goals. Therapy should be meaningful and practical, so I focus on helping you build real‐world skills and tools that leave you feeling empowered in your daily life.
