My Services

My primary modality is individual therapy. I believe feeling connected to and understood by your therapist is a crucial part of a successful therapy experience, so a consultation is an opportunity for both therapist and client to assure a good clinical fit.

I have some availability for couples therapy.  I often work with couples who are looking to do a focused piece of work to either get through a difficult time in a relationship or to help make a decision to move forward.  I will meet with parents in support and collaboration with an individual client if/as needed.

 I have been supervising clinicians since 2002, both in the college mental health setting and in private practice.  I enjoy the process of helping clinicians find confidence in their clinical skills and shape their professional identity.

I provide workshops and consultations to organizations about managing mental health issues in various settings, such as the SAG-AFTRA Foundation and the Upright Citizens Brigade Training Center in New York City.  I also conduct workshops for high school students and their parents on the transition to college and mental health concerns. I have collaborated with a variety of independent schools in the New York City area, including Friends Seminary, Packer Collegiate, and Ethical Culture Fieldston School.
