Professional statement

My approach to treating individuals combines cognitive behavioral therapy methods with stress reduction, mindfulness, and problem-solving approaches. There are many triggers we all face: relationship problems, identity issues, loss or trauma, perfectionism, problems setting or maintaining goals, life transitions, or just a general sense that something is wrong. I am interactive and direct in challenging dysfunctional patterns that are getting in the way of leading the life you want. I will work collaboratively with you to develop an individual plan of action, building on strengths, to bring balance, meaning, and ease into your life.

I have been extensively trained in psychodynamic, CBT, mindfulness, and Interpersonal techniques, and I tailor each person's treatment to their individual needs, providing a comprehensive and specific treatment plan for each person.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families. In addition, I run four groups in my practice

Message to clients

Psychotherapy is ultimately about living a fuller, more meaningful life. I approach this work empathically and collaboratively. Often getting unstuck involves helping you identify the relational patterns that play out without your noticing. With each person or couple, I develop an individual plan of action that builds on your strengths to bring more balance, meaning, and ease into your life.

The process looks different depending on who's in the room. With couples, I help you understand the dynamic between you — what each of you brings, how each of you gets activated, and how to make effective repairs. With individuals, I help you see the repeated cycles you carry into every relationship, romantic and otherwise, and how to change them. And in collaborative breakups, I help partners ending a relationship do so with as much care and clarity as they once tried to build it with, through a structured six-session breakup therapy protocol.

Earlier in my career, I worked internationally for the UN and in the field of human rights. I have continued my international human rights work through Physicians for Human Rights, the Global Psychosocial Network, and the Mount Sinai Human Rights Clinic. I am also an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where I teach and supervise.
