I am a clinical psychologist in New York City. I work with adults in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

People often come to treatment with a sense that something is not quite right, whether in relationships, in their work, or in how they experience themselves. Sometimes this takes the form of anxiety or depression; at other times it is less defined, but no less persistent.

My work is oriented toward understanding the patterns that shape these experiences. This includes how one relates to others, how emotions are experienced and managed, and how a sense of self has taken form over time. Many of these patterns are not immediately visible, yet they continue to influence the present in meaningful ways.

I tend to work with individuals who are thoughtful and reflective and are interested not only in symptom relief, but in a deeper understanding of themselves. The aim is not simply to address what is immediately troubling, but to make possible a form of change that is more lasting.

In addition to my private practice, I serve as a Staff Psychologist at Lenox Hill Hospital and supervise doctoral trainees in clinical psychology at Long Island University, Brooklyn.

My work is informed by advanced psychoanalytic training at the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research.
