I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Certified Group Psychotherapist, and trained EMDR practitioner. My specialties include trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, climate distress, and existential issues. I particularly have experience working with young adults and creative professionals. My work integrates several therapy approaches including EMDR, psychodynamic/psychoanalytic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and existential therapy. My core philosophy is acceptance & responsibility. We can’t get anywhere if we don’t acknowledge and accept where we are now. The more we accept what is outside our control, the better we can embrace responsibility, heal, and live. I work in my Manhattan office on Mondays and in Poughkeepsie the rest of the week.
