CBT for anxiety, OCD, and related life challenges, offering evidence-based therapy to support adolescents and young adults.
I offer psychological services for children, adolescents, and young adults using evidence-based approaches that focus on skill building and real-world application. Treatment is collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on practical strategies to support growth at home, in school, and in daily life. Telehealth services are available to ensure care is accessible and flexible.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City offering a range of psychological services, including individual and group therapy for children, adolescents and young adults. I am committed to creating a warm, collaborative, and supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their challenges, build insight, and work toward meaningful and lasting change through evidence-based therapy.
My clinical approach is integrative and tailored to each individual. I primarily work from a cognitive behavioral therapy framework while incorporating elements of dialectical behavior therapy, exposure and response prevention, and mindfulness-based interventions. This allows me to thoughtfully customize treatment to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
I currently work as a full time psychologist at Bellevue Hospital on their adolescent inpatient unit, where I provide intensive, evidence-based therapy for adolescents aged 12-17 experiencing acute mental health concerns such as suicidality, self-harm with comorbid diagnoses.
I have received extensive training across a range of settings, including hospitals, community clinics, and group practices. My psychological interventions focus on treating anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and related emotional and behavioral challenges.
