About

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and a certified IFS therapist. I work with individuals and couples who are tired of white-knuckling anxiety, stress, and old painful patterns, and who want help that reaches the body as well as the thoughts.

I see anxiety and stress as parts of you that learned to protect you, sometimes a little too hard. Together we get to know those parts, calm your nervous system, and make room for the life you want. With couples, I help each partner understand what they're protecting, so you can talk and reconnect with more safety. When trauma is part of your story, we go at a pace that feels safe, and you decide how much to share.

I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology at Adelphi University, where I also teach as an adjunct professor. My research looked at trauma and how mental illness affects families. I've worked with children, teens, and adults from many backgrounds in clinics and hospitals across the New York area. In the past I also worked as an attorney and a training specialist and lived in different countries, which helps me understand how differently people's lives and stresses can look. Sessions are available in English and Hebrew.
