The best psychotherapy helps transform life’s toughest challenges into deep and meaningful growth. So often our greatest healing actually begins in the pain of everyday living whether it shows up in loneliness, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, family drama, anger, fear, shame or desperation. Gaining new perspectives on self, critically examining what isn’t working, and tapping into our natural strengths can be the most powerful way to get unstuck, develop a deeper sense of self, and cultivate more happiness. I believe the therapeutic relationship is essential for change, and I trust the way that collaboratively engaging treatment goals can be transformative. While I don’t subscribe to any one modality, I predominantly practice psychodynamic exploration and processing, strategic use of CBT and DBT skills and the incorporation of mindfulness-based practices. I was trained in New York City and continue to teach and supervise at Mount Sinai Hospital. My work has focused on treating depression, anxiety, trauma and life-transitions. I value a holistic, multi-cultural approach to understanding one's sense-of-self and identity-related struggles. I also have a particular interest in working with the LGBTQ+ community.
