Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in New York

I have over 10 years of experience working with adults in different modalities including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and Group Psychotherapy. I have additional training in Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders from the Seleni Institute. I received my Master's of Science in Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work where I studied Advanced Clinical Practice.

I believe in a collaborative approach between client and therapist. Together we can explore your strengths and challenges to identify meaningful goals and work towards improvement. You are an expert on yourself and your needs. I am here to listen, support you and give you tools to heal past traumas, strengthen interpersonal relationships and build resilience. As we explore your history and your aspirations, I will guide, teach and support you. We will examine patterns that no longer serve you so you can build a healthy relationship with yourself and with others.

I strive to create a safe and supportive environment. I work at your pace so you feel heard and respected. Reach out and we can explore this work together. I am currently offering teletherapy.

It has been a privilege to walk along side others managing more complex psychological issues and trauma or just helping them talk things out. I am currently offering telehealth services to adolescents (ages 11 and up) and adults. I also work with couples, parents, and families.

My doctoral training and experience in the field for over 20 years allow me to work with a wide range of issues. I have worked in different capacities and settings including as an adjunct professor, supervisor of therapy/ testing, and a psychotherapist in hospitals, universities, and a military behavioral health clinic. I have extensive experience treating depression and anxiety, grief/ loss, relationship concerns, trauma, OCD, chronic health issues, infertility, adjustment/ self-esteem problems in children/ adults, substance use issues, and personal growth.

My goal is to blend evidence based treatment including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and meditation with a warm, caring style. I like to take a holistic approach focusing all aspects of psychological, physical, and spiritual health. I offer culturally competent therapy- welcoming anyone regardless of sexual orientation, ethnicity, and religion. Together we can identify innate strengths and build coping skills to foster long-term wellness and resilience.

I believe in shared decision-making and in taking seriously the values, goals, and needs of the whole person. My work involves thoughtful psychiatric assessment, therapy, and medication management—each tailored to your individual life experiences. I approach every encounter with compassion, curiosity, and respect for your unique story.
