I am a licensed psychologist in New York State and I received my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Columbia University, Teachers College. I completed my internship training at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, and had served as an adjunct professor and a clinical supervisor at Teachers College Columbia University, teaching an empirically validated psychotherapy practicum to Doctoral students and supervising students at a training clinic. I have also served as a faculty member at Columbia University, Department of Psychiatry – New York State Psychiatric Institute. I received extensive training in research and treatment of panic disorder and social anxiety. I am on the executive board of the Women’s Mental Health Consortium of NY (www.wmhcny.org), and a clinical supervisor at the Wellness center of the Graduate Center of city college.
I have extensive experience both as a researcher and as a clinician, and these experiences have helped me become a more effective psychologist. For example, my research experience in the areas of anxiety disorders (such as panic, social phobia), schizophrenia, and maternal depression, has deepened my understanding of these issues, as well as my knowledge of empirically validated treatments. My experience has helped me develop the treatment approach best suited to each of my clients’ needs and goals.
I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapies, cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT, including mindfulness based and ACT) , Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). I received this training in several different settings (inpatient, intensive outpatient, and outpatient – clinic and private practice), and with diverse populations. My clients have differed in their age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and level of functioning.
I am fluent in both English and Hebrew and I conduct treatment in both languages.
