He also has extensive experience working with undergraduate and professional students at NYU and the University of Virginia, supporting concerns related to identity, purpose, and life transitions.
He has completed advanced training in adult psychodynamic psychotherapy at the NYU Psychoanalytic Institute and values a multicultural, inclusive approach to care.
