Therapeutic Expertise
Crafting a Personalized Approach for You

Welcome to my practice!

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and therapist with over 20 years of experience providing individual and couples therapy. I offer online therapy to clients across New York State and in-person psychotherapy in the Hudson Valley at my office in New Paltz. As a therapist, I am committed to providing high-quality care grounded in professional expertise, compassion, and respect.

Are you seeking meaningful, lasting change and a deeper sense of fulfillment? 

Are you struggling to find happiness despite your many strengths and accomplishments? 

Are you dealing with long-term emotional or relational patterns that have held you back?

Are you searching for ways to cope and feeling overwhelmed during this challenging time?

Take the Next Step to Improve Your Life

Therapy offers a powerful opportunity to understand yourself more deeply, loosen the grip of old patterns, and create a life that feels more authentic and meaningful. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, choosing the right therapist or psychologist is an essential step in the healing process.

My approach as a therapist is personalized and tailored to you. As an experienced psychologist, I draw from a broad range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches and craft an individualized treatment plan specific to your needs, goals, and strengths. The focus of our work is on deep, meaningful, and lasting change—not just short-term symptom relief.

I strive to create a warm, empathic, and supportive environment where you can feel safe expressing your thoughts and feelings openly. I deeply respect my clients as autonomous, complex, and unique individuals. Through this collaborative therapeutic process, you can develop greater insight, self-awareness, and practical tools to manage stress, reduce anxiety and depression, improve relationships, and face life with greater confidence and clarity.

Areas of Specialization

I specialize in working with adults of all ages experiencing anxiety (including panic and OCD), depression, relationship and adjustment issues, and eating concerns. I also have particular expertise working with college students, adults age 50+, and couples seeking couples therapy to strengthen communication, connection, and emotional intimacy.
