I am a licensed psychologist in New York City, specializing in evidence-based treatment for:

• adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, life-threatening behaviors, and emotional dysregulation

• parents managing teenage risky or life-threatening behavior

• youth and adults living with insomnia or circadian rhythm disorders (“night owls”)

I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley. I am trained in evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have also received training in evidence-based treatments for sleep disorders, including CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I).

I completed my predoctoral internship at Bellevue Hospital, where I rotated through the Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Room (CPEP) and Adolescent Inpatient Units, and my postdoctoral fellowship at NYU Child Study Center. During my fellowship, I completed the DBT Foundational Training through Behavioral Tech. After completing my fellowship, I stayed at the Child Study Center as a clinical assistant professor.

At Morning Light Psychology, I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. We work together to identify goals, explore challenges, and develop practical strategies for change. My approach is grounded in collaboration, safety, and respect, with the goal of supporting clients to build a life worth living.
