About
I am a New York (#024042) and Connecticut (#4091) licensed clinical psychologist located in eastern Westchester. I work with children, adolescents and adults with a range of therapeutic needs, including mood disorders, anxiety, life transitions and relationship stressors. I also provide psychoeducational assessments to develop a complete and strengths-based understanding of your child's cognitive, academic and social-emotional skills and inform supportive interventions.
I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology at Yeshiva University's Ferkauf School of Psychology. Additionally, I hold Master's degrees in School Psychology and Forensic Psychology. I completed an APA-accredited internship at NYC Health + Hospitals Jacobi Medical Center where I gained in-depth experience in a wide range of mental health needs and interventions. Prior to starting my private practice, I was a psychologist at Jacobi in both acute and outpatient settings, including inpatient psychiatry, the psychiatric emergency room, pediatric medicine, and outpatient oncology. In this role, I provided integrative care to treat anxiety, mood, adjustment, personality, and substance use disorders, as well as trauma and severe mental illness. I have also trained at sites that include public school settings and Newark Beth Israel's Metropolitan Regional Diagnostic and Treatment Center for trauma.
