Clients
Who I work with
I often work with guys in their 20s and 30s who are in demanding fields like tech, finance, and law. Many of my clients have thought about therapy for a while and are finally ready to dive in.
Sometimes people come to me when they are just feeling stuck. Work isn't as motivating as it used to be, relationships have stalled, or sleep is becoming an issue. They want to better understand their own thought patterns and learn to trust themselves and what they want.
I also see adults of any age who are adjusting after a stressful event or struggling with sleep. And because I work in tech as well, I have first-hand experience with the stressors of startup life.
Areas of expertise
What I help with
I specialize in evidence-based interventions for a range of mental-health concerns:
My treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) (including CBT-I for insomnia), mindfulness interventions, stress-reduction techniques, Exposure Therapy (such as Exposure and Response Prevention), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
About me
My training and experience
I trained as both a neuroscientist and a clinical psychologist, and I use that research background to keep therapy practical and focused on what works. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness approaches for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. These approaches help people increase self-awareness, reframe negative thought patterns, and cope with challenging life circumstances as they arise.
Background
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from Brown University and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Duke University. As a former faculty member at Weill Cornell / NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, I've treated a wide range of conditions across inpatient and outpatient settings, with a track record of effective telehealth care for people under high levels of stress.
