About Me
As a psychologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing care that empowers individuals to navigate their challenges and enhance their quality of life. My work is driven by a fascination with the human mind and a commitment to supporting individuals through difficult times.
I specialize in conducting comprehensive neuropsychological assessments for a variety of clinical conditions. These evaluations help us understand how neurological and psychological factors influence cognitive functioning, behavior, and overall wellbeing. With more than 20 years of experience, I use this insight to develop tailored strategies that can make a meaningful difference in my patients’ lives.
My training includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and internal family systems (IFS), allowing me to address both the cognitive and emotional aspects of a person’s experience.
As part of NYU Langone, I collaborate with a team to ensure coordinated care for my patients. I am committed to providing care that empowers individuals to take an active role in their healing. My collaborative approach aims to create a supportive environment in which individuals feel heard and understood, ensuring a positive and responsive therapeutic experience.
