About
People often come to psychotherapy feeling stuck, angry, wound up, or adrift. Beneath the surface are important and unmet needs. By recognizing these, we can start shifting patterns that get in our way and communicate more clearly with others. I work with children, adolescents and adults. My approach is curious, warm, and actively engaged. I draw on my extensive training in psychodynamic and attachment-based interventions, initiating change by understanding the past experiences that shape our reactions and patterns in present-day relationships. I also incorporate emotion regulation skills and mindfulness techniques, as appropriate. My work with children is play-based and aimed at strengthening their capacity to engage with others and regulate their emotions in age-appropriate ways. I am passionate about supporting parents in the difficult but rewarding work of connecting to one’s children exactly where they are, and working through parenting roadblocks in a pragmatic, empathic way. I have years of experience in a range of clinical settings, including Mt. Sinai Beth Israel and NYU. I am particularly engaged around issues of trauma, attachment, and identity (in terms of culture, race, sexuality and gender). My research focuses on mothers' attachment experiences and sense of self.
