I am a licensed clinical psychologist, NYC native, and founder of Brooklyn Integrative Psychological Services. For over 20 years, I have worked in both outpatient clinics and in-patient psychiatric hospitals, community mental health facilities, college counseling centers and non-profit agencies, providing integrative psychotherapy services for adults, families and couples. I have completed advanced, specialized training for LGBTQIA, Serious Mental Illness, and student populations, as well as delivered developmentally disability/intellectual disability social services, in-home crisis services, and couples and family services. In addition, for many years I have run groups, workshops, and parent-trainings for clients in every NYC borough. I also supervise LMSWs/MHCs and Ph.D./Psy.D. candidates who are on a path toward clinical licensure and private practice. My undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate training and education have all taken place in NYC, the city I cannot live without, at top APA-accredited institutions and sites.

I use an Integrative model of therapy that combines traditional psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), schema, dialectical behavioral (DBT), and interpersonal/relational therapies to customize our work to your needs. I have also received intensive training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Dr. Sue Johnson, Horneyian Therapy (based on the work of Karen Horney), Schema Therapy, Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction, Trauma Art Narrative Therapy (TANT), and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy. Recently, I completed a certification in Ericksonian Hypnosis, and have been tickled by how this technique accelerates one’s access to their unconscious. In my opinion, not every problem is a nail so why have only one hammer? I have been a lifelong learner of how to merge evidence-based therapies with alternative “new-wave” therapies, such as the burgeoning intersection of western neuropsychology and eastern philosophies. I often incorporate these teachings in sessions, and collaborate with my clients to explore multiple perspectives on life.

It can be difficult to know what type of therapy is right for you, and to also find someone who you feel able to open up your true self to. Let's meet to discuss your needs and to see how I can help you evolve!
