I train and supervise therapists, publish on men's mental health, and devote my clinical practice to issues of mood and personality. I earned my PsyD at Long Island University Post and am a licensed psychologist in New York. In my practice, I specialize in working with clients seeking meaningful change around complex presenting concerns. These include mild to severe depression, anger that interferes with relationships, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety disorders, dissociation (DID), narcissism, borderline personality, and psychosis. Good psychotherapy uncovers actionable insights and facilitates lasting change. Clients who work with me can expect symptom relief, deeper self-understanding, and improved effectiveness in their personal and professional relationships. You can read more about my background on my personal website.
Assistant Director of the YU Counseling Center
As the assistant director of the Counseling Center at Yeshiva University, which serves a predominantly religious population, I am uniquely attuned to the intersection of mental health and religious lifestyles. I work with people from a wide range of religious backgrounds, including Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Hindu.
Faculty at Open Therapy Institute
I believe psychotherapy should remain free from political or religious agendas and bias. Good psychotherapy meets patients where they are and welcomes a wide diversity of thoughts and beliefs without imposing dogma or orthodoxy. I welcome all clients and the expression of all viewpoints in my practice.

FAQ
"I don't just want validation and agreement. How is this therapy going to be different?"
Good psychotherapy is often a dynamic, collaborative, and challenging process. Validation alone is not a mechanism of change, nor is it synonymous with therapeutic dialogue. A skilled psychotherapist can be relied upon to listen for “what isn’t being said.” Meaningful change often involves identifying the mechanisms that maintain entrenched patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior, many of which reside just outside conscious awareness.
How long will therapy take to see results?
Therapy should be goal-oriented and time-limited. Every therapeutic relationship develops at its own pace, and patients progress at different rates. Therapist and patient should have open dialogue about the goals of therapy and an estimate of the timeframe in which those goals can be achieved.
What is the cost of therapy?
The session fee is $375. This practice offers courtesy out-of-network insurance billing. If you have OON benefits, you may be reimbursed for part of the session cost once your deductible has been met.
