Meet the clinicians.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist, supervisor at the LIU Brooklyn clinical psychology Ph.D. program, and Assistant Professor at Montefiore–Einstein.

My work is psychodynamic and relational. I also draw on Gottman couples therapy, CBT, trauma-focused care, family systems, and years of experience in medical settings. I teach and supervise physicians and often work with residents and fellows living through the particular pressures of medical training. My research and advocacy have focused on medical and cultural mistrust, narrative justice in healthcare, and the ways institutions shape our inner lives.

My style is active and collaborative. I listen carefully, ask direct questions, and tell you what I am thinking. I also want you to correct me when my understanding does not fit. You know what it feels like to be you; my job is to help you examine patterns that can be hard to see from inside them.

Psychodynamic therapy helps you understand the feelings, expectations, and defenses that shape your choices before you are fully aware of them. I specialize in individual and couples therapy, with advanced training in the Gottman Method. You are always welcome to call with questions and decide whether we may work well together.
