ABOUT ME

I'm a clinical psychologist working in a New York private practice with individuals and couples. I also teach as an Adjunct Professor at Fordham University's Psychology Department. Additionally, I am a candidate at NYU's Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.

​

In therapy, I treat couples and individuals who are struggling with a wide range of problems, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, gender and sexuality concerns, and identity exploration (visit the Services & Fees page to learn more about the scope of my practice ).

 

I received my doctorate (Ph.D.) in Clinical Psychology from the New School for Social Research in New York City. My training took place in major hospital clinics, counseling centers, and community clinics in New York City, including William Alanson White Institute, New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute, Greene Clinic, South Beach Psychiatric Center, New School  Student Health Services, and Pace University Counseling Center. In these settings, I gained valuable experience in working with clients across the lifespan and from various backgrounds.
 

Throughout my clinical training, I developed expertise in relational and psychoanalytic theory and practice. I was trained in various psychodynamic modalities for children, adults and parents, and received special training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.


Before my clinical training I completed a B.F.A. in Music Performance and Psychology at The New School, where I was the Valedictorian of my class. Ever since, my aim has been to integrate principles of musical communication and emotional expression into treatment of real-life problems through clinical research and practice. Alongside my career as a therapist, I continue to work as a jazz saxophonist and a composer.​​
