About

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, NYC native, and founder of Brooklyn Integrative Psychological Services. For over 15 years, I have worked in both outpatient clinics and in-patient psychiatric hospitals, community mental health facilities, college counseling centers and non-profit agencies, providing integrative psychotherapy services for adults, families and couples. I have completed specialized training and practicum for LGBTQIA, Serious Mental Illness, and student populations, as well as delivered developmentally disability/intellectual disability social services, in-home crisis services, and couples and family services. In addition, for many years I have run groups, workshops, and parent-trainings for clients in every NYC borough. I also supervise LMSWs/MHCs and Psy.D. candidates who are on a path toward clinical licensure and private practice. My undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate training and education have all taken place in NYC, the city I cannot live without, at top APA-accredited institutions and sites. I use an Integrative model of therapy that combines traditional psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), schema, dialectical behavioral (DBT), and interpersonal/relational therapies to customize our work to your needs. I have also received intensive training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Dr. Sue Johnson, Horneyian Therapy (based on the work of Karen Horney), Schema Therapy, Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction, Trauma Art Narrative Therapy (TANT), and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy. Recently, I completed a certification in Ericksonian Hypnosis, and have been tickled by how this technique accelerates one’s access to their unconscious. In my opinion, not every problem is a nail so why have only one hammer? I have been a lifelong learner of how to merge evidence-based therapies with alternative “new-wave” therapies, such as the burgeoning intersection of western neuropsychology and eastern philosophies.
