As a clinical psychologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to fostering a safe and nurturing environment where patients can explore their emotional and mental landscapes. My passion for psychology stems from a profound desire to understand the human experience and alleviate emotional suffering. I believe in the power of a collaborative, warm, and honest therapeutic relationship, which allows individuals to open up and grow at their own pace.
I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, gender dysphoria, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder. My practice is inclusive, welcoming adults, emerging adults, and couples from all racial, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, as well as all sexual orientations and gender identities. With particular expertise in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, I am committed to providing compassionate and tailored care to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Throughout my career, I have focused on helping clients navigate life’s challenges, whether they involve mental health issues, relationship and career difficulties, life transitions, or identity concerns. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, but I also integrate techniques from dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches when immediate symptom relief is needed. This holistic and flexible approach ensures that my patients receive the most effective care tailored to their specific needs.
My journey into psychology was inspired by a deep-seated desire to help others and a fascination with the complexities of the human mind. I pursued my education with a focus on understanding and addressing the myriad ways in which people experience and cope with life's challenges. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a diverse team that prioritizes coordinated and comprehensive care, ensuring that my patients receive the best possible support on their path to wellness.
