Who I treat:
I provide therapy for adults and adolescents in private practice, specializing in mood disorders, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, addiction, and trauma.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, chronic worry, low mood, and low motivation, including those who feel stuck in a functional “freeze” state, able to meet daily responsibilities but struggling to fully engage in life. I also support individuals coping with suicidal thoughts.
My practice includes treatment for ADHD/ADD and executive functioning difficulties, such as challenges with time management, organization, focus, and follow-through. I also work with high-functioning individuals, including those with high IQ and nonverbal learning differences, who may experience frustration, overwhelm, or issues with impulsivity.
I address addiction and compulsive behaviors, including substance use as well as problematic screen use, social media, and video games, often in connection with underlying emotional regulation and impulse control difficulties.
I specialize in trauma therapy, working with both single-incident trauma and complex developmental trauma, including adoption-related trauma.
My approach:
Therapy with me is typically structured, while also being warm and exploratory. Sessions are goal-oriented, and not rigid, leaving room to examine patterns, history, and the underlying systems that keep you stuck.
I take an active, engaged role in the process. Sessions can be conversational but can also be full of education and clinical understanding. The focus of sessions is on both what is happening in your day-to-day life and why those patterns exist.
I bring over 20 years of clinical experience, drawing from multiple evidence-based and depth-oriented approaches. My approach integrates behavioral therapies (like DBT and CBT) focused on building practical skills and creating change in real time, along with dynamic work that explores the origins of thoughts, emotions, and relational patterns. This balance allows for meaningful, lasting change rather than temporary symptom relief.
About
With over 20 years of clinical experience, I have served a diverse range of diagnoses both in inpatient and outpatient settings. My style is warm and non-judgmental and my approach is flexible, individually tailored, and informed by psychodynamic theories, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and somatic theories.
I graduated NYU’s Silver School of Social Work in 2007 and have been practicing since then. I have been trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy from Behavioral Tech from Behavioral Tech. I have experience working with a comprehensive DBT team providing DBT therapy both individually and in group therapy. I also have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with experience working with a CBT team as well.
I am providing individual therapy to adults, young adults and older adolescents in individual therapy.
Take Action
I have a history of helping clients get past major “stuck points” and have been able to help clients who have had difficulty feeling helped in the past. With my clinical trainings and experience, I can help you or your child develop tools that reduce intense emotions, direct motivations and set boundaries with others.
