As a psychologist, my desire to help people—while exploring my own evolving interests—has led me to work with people of all ages from diverse cultural backgrounds.

During my training, I was initially drawn to early childhood development and attachment, and later grew interested in understanding the effects of trauma. As a result, I now work primarily with adults in addition to children and adolescents. My unique background enhances my patients’ care by widening the lens through which I can understand their experiences and lives.

At ��ɫAV Langone Psychiatry Associates, I treat people who have grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I also work closely with immigrants, who may be experiencing cultural as well as psychological changes, and people who have other health conditions, such as chronic pain and insomnia.

I’m trained in a variety of theoretical orientations, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and attachment theory. I am certified in multiple gold-standard trauma treatments, including cognitive processing therapy (CPT), prolonged exposure therapy (PE), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR), as well as general CBT, CBT-I for insomnia, and CBT-CP for chronic pain. I integrate these various orientations to develop highly individualized treatment plans for my patients.

We strive to make mental healthcare accessible to more people, which is why we offer online doctor visits through the ��ɫAV Langone Health app as an option for some patients. This option can be especially convenient for new mothers and for people who are housebound due to a medical condition.

In addition to providing patient care, I’m the director of telepsychiatry for the Department of Psychiatry. I helped pioneer telemedicine at ��ɫAV Langone, working to ensure that patients have access to online doctor visits on a safe and confidential platform.
