I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience in private practice and hospital-based psychiatric clinic settings. I meet with adult patients once or twice weekly to address anxiety, sadness, loneliness, difficult relationships, creative blocks, and addictions. Whether you’re in a profound crisis, navigating a challenging life transition, or simply curious about your internal world, therapy will offer a space for exploration and a deepening understanding of the self.

​

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Arts with honors from the New School for Social Research in 1998 and my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Gordon F. Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University in 2005. I completed my doctoral internship at Manhattan Psychiatric Center, gaining specialized experience working with patients diagnosed with severe and persistent psychiatric illness.

​

After finishing doctoral training, I completed a Fellowship in Psychoanalysis at the NYU Psychoanalytic Institute and started seeing patients in private practice in 2007. I worked as a psychologist at Bellevue Hospital from 2004 to 2019 and held a faculty position in the Department of Psychiatry at NYU from 2007 to 2019. As of 2019, I meet with patients in private practice only. I am licensed to practice psychology in both New York and Texas.

​

I am fluent in English, German, and Swedish (native)​, and I have some proficiency in Italian. As a multilingual psychologist, I frequently meet with patients of international origin and feel comfortable bridging cultural gaps.
