Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Goshen, NY covered by Aetna

I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.

I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. Rather than directing the process, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can speak openly, reflect at their own pace, and gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. In the midst of busy and often overwhelming daily life, having intentional time to pause and look inward can be a powerful part of personal growth.

Creating room for reflection can open the door to new perspectives and a deeper awareness of internal experiences. As clients begin to better understand their emotional responses and patterns, they often find greater clarity in how they relate to themselves and others. This increased awareness can support more intentional decision-making and help guide the next steps in their personal growth.

I have dedicated my career to helping children and young adults reach their fullest potential. With over 20 years of hands-on experience across clinical, educational, and neuropsychological settings, I provide compassionate, dignified care grounded in deep expertise. My training was shaped by leading scholars in neuropsychology, educational psychology, and behavior analysis. I trained in a neuropsychology lab at Stony Brook University, became a licensed, board-certified behavior analyst, completed doctoral training at Southern Illinois University under Dr. Barbara Cordoni, and later completed postdoctoral re-specialization in clinical neuropsychology under Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg, specializing in pediatric and complex behavioral cases.

Therapy should feel like a collaborative space where you feel understood, supported, and capable of creating change. I work with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds, and I have provided care in private practice, as well as hospitals and inpatient facilities. I am a University of Michigan and New York University graduate strives to create a warm, engaging environment where everyone feels safe expressing themselves, building confidence, and learning new skills. I enjoy working with athletes and high performers who want to strengthen their mindset, improve focus, navigate pressure, and perform at their best—whether in sports, academics, or other areas of life.

Hello! I am so happy to introduce myself to you. I have over 20 years of experience working as a therapist. I love being a therapist because I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know their stories. I’m a firm believer in treating the person in front of me, not the diagnosis or code. I don’t believe in seeing someone as their struggle. I help people cope with their symptoms or challenges and to become the best version of themselves. I use many therapeutic frameworks to accomplish this. I never follow one framework only. That shortchanges the opportunities for improvement to me.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, OCD, and family and interpersonal relationship challenges. I also offer Peak Performance training for individuals aiming to excel in various aspects of life. Whether in the office or in real-world settings, I work with you to create a personalized approach that supports your goals. I use evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, and Motivational Interviewing. I'm also trained in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy, using Ketamine for clients who are eligible.
