As a psychotherapist at NYU Langone Psychiatry Associates, I am dedicated to creating a safe and trusting environment for my patients. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic alliance and find it most rewarding to help individuals navigate through difficult times. My approach is centered on listening and partnering with my patients to foster growth and healing.
I specialize in treating patients with anxiety and trauma, using a variety of trauma-informed care approaches. My expertise includes eye movement desensitizing and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and internal family systems (IFS). These methods allow me to address both the cognitive and physical aspects of trauma, providing comprehensive care tailored to each individual's needs.
Throughout my career, I have focused on understanding the complexities of human behavior and unmet needs. My work is driven by a genuine curiosity and a commitment to exploring my patients' internal and external worlds. I strive to create a therapeutic space in which patients can piece together their life experiences and achieve a sense of fulfillment and positive change.
I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and my master of science degree in social work from Columbia University, specializing in mental health. My passion for psychotherapy stems from a deep-seated desire to support personal growth and healing, inspired by the transformative journeys I witness in my patients. I value trust, collaboration, and diversity, and often incorporate humor to build rapport and offer new perspectives.
