Welc​ome to my practice

A sense of safety in the therapist-client relationship is essential to bringing about positive change and actualizing life goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over twenty years of training and clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I bring a focused, engaged, and collaborative presence to the therapeutic process, along with a sense of humor and a strong belief that meaningful growth emerges through insight, reflection, and self-understanding. I provide Psychotherapy in both English and German. My approach is psychodynamically informed and integrative in nature. While understanding the deeper patterns that shape our emotional lives is an important part of therapy, I also draw upon Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches when they can be helpful in supporting change. I tailor treatment to the individual needs, goals, and circumstances of each person I work with,

​

My clinical training began in 1999 at Mount Sinai Hospital’s Kravis Children’s Hospital Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Unit, where I worked with children and families in both bedside and group settings. I also spent five years at Israel Medical Center’s Continuum Center for Health and Healing, coordinating educational and community outreach programs and contributing to research and assessment in the field of integrative medicine. During this time, I served as a co-investigator on a research study examining integrative mind–body group treatments for depression. 

I completed my doctoral training in Clinical Psychology at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York and my predoctoral internship at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. My training included work with children. adolescents, adults and parents in school, outpatient, and hospital settings throughout New York City. Following graduation I remained at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute as a postdoctoral fellow, where I received advanced training in psychological testing and continued my psychotherapy work with adolescents, adults, and families.

 

I have been in private practice since 2012, with my office currently located in Scarsdale, New York. From 2019 to 2023, I served as the consulting psychologist at the German International School in White Plains, New York (K–12) while maintaining my private practice. Today I work exclusively in private practice, providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults, as well as consultation and support for parents and families.

If you are considering therapy and would like to explore whether working together might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out to arrange an initial conversation. This provides an opportunity to discuss your questions, ask questions, and determine whether working together feels like the right next
