As a clinical psychologist based in NYC, I provide virtual therapy to New York State residents. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, women’s mental health, life transitions, relationships, and coping with intense negative emotions. I aim to help you gain clarity and make desired changes so you can live a more balanced and fulfilled life.
