I'm a therapist, a licensed psychologist, accepting new patients in my new Huntington, Long Island, New York office. this is my 33rd year in practice, and I love the work as much as ever. Psychotherapy can serve many purposes. It is perhaps the only venue where we can speak about pretty much anything... not just deep dark problems, "issues", unpleasant events, mental disorders or illnesses, but potentials, dreams, a life in which you have more choices available to you, and more ways of pursuing them alone and in relationship with others. Psychotherapy done well is a powerful sort of education, the kind we don't receive in scho

Welcome! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. I have expertise in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment for a variety of mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and behavioral difficulties. My goal is to provide you with a warm and validating space where we can collaboratively achieve your goals. In sessions we will develop adaptive coping skills, gently confront emotions, and build a life that is meaningful and fulfilling for you. I currently have openings for telehealth sessions only.

I mainly work with young adults with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and those going through a transitional stage in their lives, I also have experience with adults and couples. I have a very upbeat and open-minded approach mainly utilizing CBT and Motivational Interviewing.

Sometimes it can be hard to talk about what you’re thinking or feeling. You might believe that if you did talk about it, people may judge or reject you.

My treatment approach is person-centered, to empower you to understand that your experience of yourself and the world around you matters. I also incorporate psychodynamic, to explore and understand how you came to be who you are today. We will collaborate to to help you live the life you want to live.

Working with a therapist can be viewed in many ways, but I often like to compare it to shoe shopping; you may get lucky on the first pick, or you might have to try on a few pairs before making the purchase. However, when you find the right fit, it may take you to places you’ve never been before. Choosing a therapist you can trust and feel at ease with can make all the difference by leading to a path of empowerment and growth. We cannot escape or undo the pain of past experiences, but we can explore unaddressed emotions, improve our ability to cope, and manage conflicts that prevent us from finding a peaceful balance.

You may find it hard to enjoy life, and you may experience the day to day as going-through-the-motions.

You may have tried therapy before, or this could be your first time (and you might be super ambivalent about it!)

Are you struggling with your emotions and feeling stuck? Do you tend to get overwhelmed by your thoughts and are unsure about how to move forward? We all go through life experiences that can impact our present day. These challenges tend to shape the way that we view the world and ourselves. When you choose to begin this journey, we can take a deeper look at unhealthy relationships, negative self-judgments, and unresolved experiences. I often see those experiencing anxiety, challenging family dynamics, depression, perfectionism, and complex trauma.
