About

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who received a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Yeshiva University—Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology of Albert Einstein College of Medicine (APA Accredited).   I also earned a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from McGill University and my Bachelor’s degree from New York University.

In addition to my private practice, I am a supervising psychologist at the VA NY Harbor Healthcare System, Brooklyn Campus, where I provide psychotherapy for veterans in both individual and group settings.  I am also a clinical supervisor for psychology doctoral students who are working with veterans who struggle with the impact of chronic pain on their lives.   I have experience working and training across multiple settings including inpatient psychiatry, a psychoanalytic training institute, college counseling center, geriatric psychiatric outpatient clinic, and a substance abuse inpatient program.   My clinical internship was completed at the VA NY Harbor Healthcare System, Brooklyn Campus (APA Accredited) and focused on the provision of psychotherapy to veterans who had extensive histories of trauma.
