As a therapist, my goal is not only to support my clients in navigating life’s challenges and improving their mental health, but also to help them clarify the kind of lives they want to lead. 

Much of my work focuses on helping my clients form new relationships, strengthen existing ones, and cope with the challenges we all face when trying to connect with others - whether it be romantic relationships, family members, coworkers, or friends. Experiences from our past can color how we relate to others in the present, and I help clients explore and understand their relationship patterns, and determine whether and how to adapt. I am particularly knowledgeable about the unique challenges gay and bisexual men experience, and strive to help them navigate these difficulties. I have specific experience with “intergenerational divergence” - when our lives as adults are significantly different from how we were raised by our families. I also enjoy working with creative arts professionals and veterans, and helping clients cope with anxiety through practical skills.

I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where we can work together to get below the surface and foster meaningful and lasting change. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from multiple evidence-based modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic psychotherapy. 

I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University and my bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the VA Medical Center – Manhattan Campus, and have worked in a variety of clinical environments including inpatient, outpatient, college counseling, community mental health, and private practice settings.
