In my practice I heavily rely on mindfulness as a way of enhancing brain neuroplasticity which allows the rewiring of cognitive pathways and recovery from distressing life events.
I am a psychotherapist who specializes in treating adults with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, panic disorder and depression. I am currently working as a psychotherapist at the World Trade Center Mental Health Treatment Program at Mount Sinai where I obtained training in CBT, DBT, Trauma Focused CBT, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Interpersonal therapy and Meaning Centered Psychotherapy. Being trained in many modalities, allows me to tailor your treatment to individual needs, unique characteristics and preferences that make some therapeutic approaches more efficient than others.

I take a strengths-based, positive psychology approach to cognitive behavioral therapy with a focus both on relieving distress and improving overall well-being.
Anxiety on its own can be extremely challenging. To make matters more difficult, it often also comes with sleep difficulties or depression, which can make daily life an exhausting and frustrating experience. The good news is that with the correct approach, it is usually possible to make significant progress in a short period of time. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, and related difficulties (including panic attacks, OCD, generalized anxiety, phobias, PTSD, and others). I have a particular specialty in the treatment of insomnia and sleep related disorders.

Using CBT, ACT, and MI/MET, we examine the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we explore values and define how they inform new behaviors, and identify the motivating “why” for making behavioral shifts.
I work with adults looking for relief from anxiety, depression, stress, challenging life transitions, and problematic use of alcohol and other substances. Perfectionism, damaged self-esteem/self-worth, guilt, and shame are all confounding factors that commonly drive our painful emotions and self-sabotaging behaviors. Our work together can help you discover ways to effectively manage difficult emotions, expand limiting thoughts and beliefs, and find motivation for behavior change, guiding you toward a more satisfying, serene, and fulfilling life.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
