I am a clinical psychologist based in New York City and a faculty member in Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy (DSP) at the Center for Somatic Studies. In addition to my clinical practice, I teach and supervise clinicians through lectures, live demonstrations, and case-based supervision.

My work integrates somatic, gestalt, and psychoanalytic approaches, with a focus on embodied process and real-time relational experience. I have particular clinical interest in perfectionism, addiction, ADHD, and issues related to identity, immigration, and major life transitions.

My background includes clinical work in hospital and community mental health settings, as well as the training and supervision of psychology interns, externs, and psychiatric fellows. I previously served as a senior psychologist at NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst, where I coordinated training for the substance use disorder track and held a faculty appointment at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
