Clinical Depth and Organizational Expertise

I’m a licensed psychoanalyst and psychotherapist with PhD in Business Administration and Organizational Psychology — the study of how people think, feel, and interact in groups and organizations. I have extensive training in understanding human behavior, relationships, and the complexities of our emotional lives.

A Foundation of Rigorous Training

I have dedicated over a decade to the rigorous study of human behavior, relationships, and the complexities of our emotional lives. My academic journey includes studies at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Stony Brook University, and the University of Rhode Island. I then completed six years of postdoctoral psychoanalytic training at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) and the Theodor Reik Clinical Center in Manhattan. My clinical background ensures that our work goes beneath surface symptoms to address the unconscious forces shaping your life.

Bridging the Professional and Personal Divide

My clinical work is enhanced by broad, practical experience consulting and working within high-stakes organizational and academic environments. Before becoming a full-time psychotherapist, I worked with and advised institutions including Chase, Simon & Schuster, UBS/Credit Suisse, CIBC World Markets, The College Board, Kaplan Test Prep, and the NYC Department of Education's iLearn Program. I previously held roles teaching management and leadership at the university level, leading teacher-training programs for NYC public schools, and developed the Critical Thinking Program for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Your Path to Meaningful Change

Today, I draw on my broad life experience and specialized training to help high-achieving individuals and couples navigate their challenges, understand themselves more deeply, and feel truly seen and supported. I offer a welcoming, confidential space where we can work together to better understand your unique story, harness your strengths, and move your life forward in meaningful new ways, both personally and professionally.
