The process of therapy is like walking through a dimly lit house--our job is to feel for the light switches & discover new aspects of your interior space.
As we do, you'll find new ways of thinking and feeling about yourself, your relationships, & the world!

- High School, College, and Graduate Students
- Artists (Writers, Musicians, Actors), HSPs, & Introverts
-Individuals and Couples

Through our work, you 'll make transformative changes & come away developing greater insight into how to live more creatively. You'll also have a lot of fun! :-)

EDUCATION & TRAINING
I received my bachelor's from Williams College and my Ph.D in Clinical Psychology from Fordham University. I've worked/trained in college counseling for over 10 years, having held positions at Fordham, Vassar, Manhattanville, & Ramapo. I am currently the Mental Health Coordinator at Manhattan School of Music.
CLINICAL PRACTICE
Based in Tarrytown, NY, I'm a clinical psychologist who does relational therapy with adults and adolescents, and individuals and couples.
My practice is geared toward helping you transform your relationships and expand your creative potential!
SUPERVISION
I have a passion for supervising and enjoy working with those in the process of developing their 'therapeutic voice' and accruing licensing hours.
TED-X COACHING
If you have a revolutionary idea to share with the world, I'm your guy to help with your prep applying, planning, practicing, and giving your next Ted-X talk! Let's work together to change the world!!! Here's some inspiration to get started:

SPEAKING & CONSULTING
I speak on a wide variety of subjects: introverts, creativity and the therapeutic process, college mental health, and political polarization to name a few.
PERSONAL
You'll ll find me to be thoughtful, attentive, and warm and also focused and precise in zeroing in on what you are feeling and thinking that you never quite put words to. The process will be fulfilling and energizing!
