In a Nutshell
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works to improve people's lives by helping them heal from interpersonal injury and the self-harm of fear, doubt, loathing and despair. I pursue this goal through direct clinical work, executive coaching, training and consultation, program evaluation, forensic evaluations, program development, and public education through podcasts and YouTube.
Clinical Practice
I am completely virtual at the moment. I provide psychotherapy through a faculty practice at Mount Sinai Behavioral Health Center. I see children, youth, adults, and families across the age range and for a variety of issues.
Office Location
Mount Sinai Behavioral Health Center
45 Rivington St.
6th floor, Office 6041

Executive Coaching
I work with executives and professionals who want to improve their ability to manage stress and mitigate the impact of a fear-based thinking through social-emotional authenticity and awareness.
Training
I provide training on trauma-informed practices throughout NYC and across the country. See the training page for a list of upcoming trainings.
Psychedelic Integration
I have developed and direct a psychedelic support coaching program at the Fireside Project that provides on-going integration support for people who are independently exploring psychedelics as a means for psychological and spiritual healing and growth (note: we do not encourage, condone, or facilitate the illegal use of psychedelics).
