Approach

We all need support sometimes to cope with life’s challenges. I am here to help. My top priority is to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to feel connected and understood. Together we will explore what you hope to get out of therapy, identify strengths and barriers, and actively develop solutions. I will help you to take manageable risks to live authentically, process painful thoughts and feelings, and achieve your goals for a healthy and fulfilling life.

I take an integrative approach, drawing from cognitive-behavioral and contemporary psychodynamic and attachment based approaches. Our work will help you gain deep insight into yourself and your relationships. I also provide direct feedback and offer active coping skills when needed. Treatment is always adapted to each client's unique needs.

Peters (Bronx) VA, where I obtained specialized training in the treatment of trauma related disorders. I have held positions at Bellevue Hospital Center, Northwell Health, and Williamsburg Therapy Group. After earning my Ph.D., I completed advanced postgraduate training at the William Alanson White Institute in their Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program, and obtained specialized training in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through Postpartum Support International.

I have extensive clinical experience helping adult clients navigate a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and attachment issues, and perinatal mental health.
