Welcome. I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Certified Group Psychotherapist, and trained EMDR practitioner. My specialties include trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, climate distress, and existential issues. I particularly have experience working with young adults and creative professionals, and providing group therapy. My work integrates several therapy approaches including psychodynamic/psychoanalytic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, and EMDR. We can work together to formulate a plan that is best suited to your goals and needs.
My core philosophy is acceptance & responsibility. We can’t get anywhere if we don’t acknowledge where we're starting. Having compassion for yourself is essential, and we can work on it from day one. Embracing your autonomy & responsibility for your life, as well as accepting what is outside your control, will free you up to heal and live the way you want.
I work in Manhattan on Mondays and in Poughkeepsie the rest of the week. When you contact me, please specify which office you're inquiring about. The fees posted here are for Manhattan only, but you can find more details on my website including lower rates at my Poughkeepsie office. Feel free to request a free phone consultation!

Groups
Interpersonal Process Group for Young-ish Adults
For adults in their 20s-30s. In a group setting, the therapist can help you learn about your interpersonal habits in real time and you have a safe space to express yourself, receive feedback, and try new behaviors. If you are particularly unsatisfied with your relationships or your ability to connect, group therapy may be even more powerful than one-on-one treatment.
