Therapists in Garden City, NY

Hi! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in providing evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques. I specialize in the treatment of adolescents, adults, and families, struggling with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, impulsive behaviors, self-harm, relationship problems, tolerating distress, and trauma reactions. I truly believe that treatment is most successful when working collaboratively with a client to identify and work towards goals.
