I work with a wide range of psychological concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma, sex/sexuality, body image, chronic illness, substance use, and complex relational or family dynamics.
I received my B.A. from Yale, my doctorate in clinical psychology from Rutgers, and intensive full-time clinical training at Bellevue Hospital. My therapeutic style prioritizes authenticity, warmth, and active engagement, and I value the patterns that recur in our ways of being to shape our identity, behavior, and relationships. I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective with roots in attachment theory, and I draw from cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed, and mind-body modalities to complement an insight-driven approach with here-and-now strategies for cultivating resilience and relief.

I work from a relational perspective specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma as well as substance use.
Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you can feel challenging. It is important for you to feel safe, comfortable and understood. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel seen and heard in a genuine way. Within this relationship you can begin to see patterns in your life where perhaps you feel stuck. It is my belief that by understanding where anxiety, depression and grief may be stemming from in your life, you can make shifts toward more successful relationships and a life with more fulfillment.

I have worked on clinical research at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, looking at how medicines including ketamine help address substance use problems.
When the body is wounded, it shows a powerful and innate ability to heal itself. Likewise, the wounded psyche has a natural inclination toward healing if conditions are right. Therapy is the container made of these essential conditions—connection, compassion, presence and, above all, safety. In it, you can access your inner intelligence to bring about growth, transformation, courage, calm, & greater balance. I approach my clients as a partner in this process, believing in your core capacities and strengths as the foundation of healing.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, trauma, family conflict, polyamory, career-related concerns, and substance use and sobriety.
I believe the most important element of therapy is the client-therapist relationship, and so her approach is compassionate and collaborative. I seek to provide a safe, supportive environment that fosters empowerment and self-acceptance. Throughout the process, my clients and I explore and gain insight into present and past experiences to better understand personal and interpersonal dynamics and recurring patterns of thinking and behaving. In a person-centered environment, I work with clients to set goals, identify barriers, and develop constructive coping strategies to manage internal and external stressors.

Many mothers feel ashamed when their adult children have serious mental illness or substance use problems that interfere with their fulfilling their dreams.
For 40 years, I have been a psychotherapist, professor, and researcher focusing on women's issues. My current work focuses on the experiences of older mothers who have adult children with serious mental illness, substance use disorder, or both. I offer support groups online. The groups are short-term for 10 weeks. Research has demonstrated that being in a support group with other people who are in "the same boat" is the most effective way to cope with stress. Being the mother of an adult child who has schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disease, or substance use disorder is stressful. Connect with me and other mothers.
