Background

I studied social sciences at Harvard University and worked in management consulting before earning my Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the City University of New York, where I trained in child, adolescent, and adult psychodynamic psychotherapy.

I completed my internship at New York University, in the Manhattan Veterans Affairs Hospital where I trained in individual and group psychotherapy for trauma, as well as cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and health psychology approaches. I continued with post-doctoral studies at the University of Rochester Counseling Center where I focused on treating undergraduate and graduate students, trained in couples and group psychotherapy, and taught and supervised graduate student clinicians. I specialized in working with Eastman School of Music students, addressing performance anxiety, competition, professional decision making, and work-life balance among other issues.

I started my private practice in Rochester, NY in 2014, and continued serving the University of Rochester academic community, as well as older adolescents and young professionals. I offered an interpersonal process group for graduate students and young professionals as an adjunct to individual treatment. I moved my practice to New York City in 2018.

Treatment Approach

My style is warm and collaborative. I seek to create an individualized treatment plan for each client by integrating multiple psychotherapy approaches. I enjoy the creativity this requires, and I am happy to share my thinking with my clients, making them active participants in tailoring their treatment. I begin by offering a free phone consultation to establish if I am a good fit, and then scheduling an in-person consultation to discuss in more depth the client’s goals for treatment, which modalities might best serve them, and how we might proceed.
