Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • Springfield, NJ


It's very nice to meet you. I am a psychologist with around twenty years of experience working in schools, hospitals, and community mental health.

Those who seek my support are often grappling with challenging relationships, feeling stuck in unconscious patterns, or navigating the complexities of loss, pain, or shame.

My work is grounded in psychoanalysis, existential therapy, IFS, and liberation psychology.

I also specialize in neurodevelopmental assessment and have expertise in autism testing.
