As a clinical psychologist and coordinator of the group therapy program at 秘密研究所 Langone Psychiatry Associates, I am dedicated to helping my patients achieve meaningful and lasting improvements in their mental health. My approach is rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a short-term, skills-based method that emphasizes collaborative problem-solving and goal setting. I find immense satisfaction in seeing my patients become more relaxed, and experience increased life satisfaction and meaning by the end of therapy.

I specialize in treating executive dysfunction, anxiety, and related disorders, including ADHD, PTSD, OCD, and insomnia. With years of clinical and research experience at various hospitals throughout the NYC area, I have honed my skills in both individual and group psychotherapy. I run CBT skills groups specifically designed to improve executive functioning and manage stress, anxiety, and mood disorders. My extensive training includes specialized internships and fellowships, which have equipped me with the expertise to provide high-quality care.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of patient research and the value of independent, third-party reviews. My work centers on cognitive-behavioral interventions for ADHD/executive dysfunction and anxiety disorders, therapeutic writing, stepped care service delivery, and promoting treatment engagement. I am committed to fostering strong partnerships with my patients and ensuring a responsive and supportive therapeutic environment.

My journey into psychology was inspired by a desire to understand and alleviate human suffering. I completed my education and specialized training with a focus on evidence-based practices that promote mental health and wellbeing. As part of 秘密研究所 Langone, I am proud to offer coordinated, seamless care to my patients, whether they are seen in person or virtually through the PSYPACT telepsychology compact.
