I'm a queer Jewish clinical psychologist in Brooklyn, NY. I earned my Ph.D. at Long Island University-Brooklyn and completed clinical training at Mount Sinai and Maimonides Medical Center, and my postdoctoral fellowship at Barnard College's Furman Counseling Center. Currently at Lenox Hill Hospital, I see patients within the Outpatient Center for Mental Health, the Inclusive Primary Care Clinic, and the Friedman Transgender Program. I provide clinical supervision to psychology and psychiatry trainees and serve as chair of the Health Equity Committee.
My expertise includes treating trauma, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal relationship issues, as well as addressing experiences around sexual, gender, cultural, and other non-dominant identities. My dissertation focused on understanding racial self-regard among white people, and I have a background in reducing bias in hiring.
I am a trained in psychoanalysis through the Center for Modern Psychoanalysis and the Center for Group Studies. I have a particular interest in working with clients who have an interest in working psychoanalytically, who are open to exploring what goes on for them beyond their awareness and being challenged to live more fully through increased emotional awareness.
I am also trained in Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), and primarily utilize this approach in my relationship/couples work, integrating it with psychoanalytic and feminist/multicultural frameworks.
