Biography
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for a range of disorders, including depression, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, phobias, insomnia, trichotillomania, and hoarding disorder. I also work with clients with a variety of life issues, including managing difficult relationships, life changes, and other stressors.
I received a BA in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, and my MA and PhD from St. John’s University. My pre-doctoral training included externships and internship at local hospitals- Nassau University Medical Center, Queens Hospital Center, and Maimonides Medical Center. My post-doctoral fellowship at the Westchester Center for Cognitive Therapy (WCCT) provided me with specialized training and experience in CBT for a range of disorders in children, adolescents and adults. After several years on faculty at WCCT, I opened a private practice in midtown Manhattan and Park Slope, Brooklyn, with a focus on working with adults.
I have been invited to speak on mental health issues in varied settings. I currently also serve as an adjunct clinical supervisor at Yeshiva University’s Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, where I supervise graduate students on their clinical work.
