Psychologist
I help re-humanize people made to feel less than human.
Your journey towards well-being starts here - with a NYC-based clinical psychologist licensed in NY, NJ, DC, as well as Psypact certified, serving patients in almost 40 states. Additionally, I am a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Use Counselor (CASAC-Master Counselor). I am passionate about re-humanizing people who are made to feel less than human. Whether you be an exhausted and or isolated high achiever struggling to find balance in life, an athlete having difficulty with the pressures of the job, or someone coping with the challenges in their life with substances, I am here for you. Let's begin this transformative process together. I specialize in working with high performance individuals, elite athletes, and persons struggling with substance use. Your story is unique, and we're here to help you express it in a way that feels authentic and empowering. Let's craft a narrative that speaks to who you truly are. Your voice matters, and Formal Therapy is here to listen.
