Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Hi! I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I received my PsyD from Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I've been practicing for almost 30 years and I always have, and still do, love this work. I feel I can be most helpful with the following mental health challenges: healing from childhood trauma(s), LGBTQIA+ issues, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, sexual assault, identity issues, and grief.

Have you experienced past or present trauma that may be hindering your personal growth and getting in the way of your goals? We all have struggled in dealing with painful situations, but we no longer have to struggle alone.

As the saying goes, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" - Lao Tzu. Let me help you take that first step towards becoming a better you!

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, relationship issues and bereavement utilizing the following therapeutic approaches such as psycho-dynamic therapy, insight oriented therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused therapy modalities, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and grievance therapy.

I began my career as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research on traditional medicine in Sochi, Russia. I presented my work at the United States Embassy in Moscow, highlighting cross-cultural perspectives in healthcare and integrative practice.

After completing my grant, I attended New York University (NYU). I then completed a residency at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. I went on to earn my doctorate from the University of San Diego, California, where I focused on digital telehealth treatment for psychiatric care.

I am passionate about working with Veterans and individuals experiencing Depression, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders. In 2023, I completed CIIS training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. In 2025, I was among the first providers in Colorado and in the country to become licensed as a psilocybin facilitator.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Forensic Psychology and a Master's in Social Work, with 15 years of experience in the field—six of those in clinical practice. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, youth, adults, families, veterans, the elderly, marginalized and vulnerable populations, and individuals impacted by substance use. My diverse experience has deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, effective support tailored to each person's unique needs.

I'm a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Registered Drama Therapist, and Ph.D. in Organizational Development. My personal and professional work in social and racial justice informs my commitment to addressing the impact of trauma among those who identify as caregivers, protectors and fighters.
