Areas of Expertise

I am a licensed psychologist in New Jersey, New York, and via telehealth in all PSYPACT states, providing psychotherapy services to adults and adolescents. My clients explore concerns related to perimenopause; depression; anxiety; identity; fertility, pregnancy, and parenting; trauma; eating and body image; family and romantic relationships; and grief. As a therapist, I create collaborative relationships with each client by providing non-judgmental, warm, and genuine support along with specific guidance.

I use multiple therapeutic approaches in my individual work, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, existential approaches, and attachment based interventions. In my work with couples, I use elements from all of the above approaches along with Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Object Relations Couple Therapy. I am happy to work with people who are in non-traditional sexual, romantic, or domestic relationships.

For individuals who are experiencing perimenopause or who are in the perinatal period, I carefully navigate questions regarding the role of hormones in mental health concerns and refer to local medical professionals as needed.

In my practice, I am committed to creating an affirming space where clients can speak about difficult and/or controversial issues and explore aspects of their identities that they may have difficulty discussing elsewhere. In particular, I have significant experience working with people who are exploring issues around sexuality and race.

In addition to my work as a therapist, I am also a copy editor for the academic journal Psychoanalytic Psychology, which is the official publication of the American Psychological Association’s Division 39. Beginning in autumn, 2026, I will be serving as an adjunct instructor at Rutgers University’s Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP) supervising the clinical work of doctoral students.
