ѵ Me
As a clinical psychologist at NYU Langone, I provide personalized and thoughtful care to each person I work with.
I specialize in managing conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, mood disorders, addictions, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and problems in relationships. I have spent many years working with military veterans and their families, which has given me a deep understanding of these conditions. My expertise in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), further enhances my ability to provide effective care.
Before joining the NYU Langone team, I spent several years in the Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system and the NYU Langone Military Family Center, where I worked with individuals grappling with chronic stress due to relationships, negative experiences, economic and social inequalities, and the impacts of war and political conflicts. These experiences have shaped my approach to psychotherapy, enabling me to provide effective treatments for patients with PTSD and complex trauma.
I am committed to understanding patients’ unique circumstances and developing an individualized plan to help them navigate their challenges. Being part of NYU Langone allows me to collaborate with other healthcare professionals, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care for those I serve.
