About

I provide psychotherapy for individuals with various difficulties in living, using techniques that are supported by evidence and could have positive effects relatively quickly. Psychotherapy can help build your coping skills for now and for your future. In addition to working with diverse individuals from across the lifespan, my work focuses on those with chronic medical conditions. I have worked, for instance, with patients with diabetes and cardiovascular disease who have difficulties adhering to their treatment regime and adjusting to their diagnosis. I have experience providing cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic psychotherapies. My practice has involved patients from various backgrounds and with various life difficulties. These patients have included those with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, behavioral difficulties, borderline and other personality disorders, and anger difficulties. My training focused on children and adolescents, although I also have considerable experience working with young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults. I graduated from St. John's University in New York City during which time I provided psychological services at Nassau University Medical Center and Montefiore Medical Center.
