I am a clinical psychologist in New York City and I enjoy guiding individuals in their journey to develop a deeper understanding of themselves. When it comes to achieving goals, I work together with patients to help them acquire the skills and self-confidence to reach their destination. In addition to my training in therapy, I also have experience in assessment, psychological testing, research, and teaching. Currently, I am pursuing licensure, freelance writing, and private practice. I treat patients at The Bleuler Psychotherapy Center and beginning July 15, 2013, I will also be treating patients at The Albert Ellis Institute.
