My Approach

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in NY and CT. I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders in children, adolescents, and young adults utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based treatments. I have particular interest in providing treatment to youth diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), selective mutism, separation anxiety disorder, specific phobias, social anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I have experience providing individual and group therapy and have received extensive training in a variety of evidence-based treatments, including exposure with response prevention (ERP), adaptations of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for anxiety disorders, and Parent Management Training (PMT).
I believe that parents, teachers, and other caregivers are the most influential people in a child’s life. By seeking input from these individuals, I understand the whole child and tailor treatment approaches to that child’s needs. I am committed to empowering parents and caregivers by providing them with the tools to best support their child. I utilize a team approach to ensure that all parties work together to help each client reach their specific treatment goals. In addition, my training in school psychology, equips me to work closely with schools to provide consultation and strategies to be used within the classroom.
