About Me

I’m a Doctor of Clinical Psychology (Psy.D) licensed in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. I have extensive experience working with clients of all ages, from children to college students to adults, and with high-achievers such as athletes, medical professionals, and people in high pressure careers.

I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative journey to foster positive change, navigate challenges, and turn them into growth opportunities. I specialize in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), an evidence-based treatment based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that provides practical tools to manage life’s complexities effectively.
