About Me
As a psychologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to fostering meaningful connections with my patients. My philosophy of care centers on the profound impact of feeling understood, which I believe is crucial for effective therapy. I find immense satisfaction in helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges, and I am particularly passionate about supporting those in the medical field through the unique stresses they encounter.
I specialize in treating a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and burnout. My extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal/relational psychodynamic therapy allows me to tailor my approach to each patient’s specific needs. With years of experience in the field, I have honed my skills in providing compassionate and effective care, particularly for medical students, residents, and fellows in my role as associate director of the Medical Student House Staff Mental Health Program at NYU Langone.
My psychology career was inspired by a lifelong interest in connecting with people and the power of empathy and understanding, which I have seen make a significant difference in the lives of my patients. My educational background and professional experiences have equipped me with the tools to support my patients effectively. I am proud to be part of the team at NYU Langone, where coordinated and comprehensive care is a priority.
