How can you provide care remotely?
All remote sessions are conducted through a HIPAA compliant system, Simple Practice. Remote care expands assess to care to folks who may have traditionally faced obstacles to attending sessions in person. Virtual therapy allows individuals to attend therapy from the comfort of their own safe space without causing too much interruption to their daily routine.
Some of the most powerful things we can do are to truly learn to understand and accept ourselves, practice self-compassion, and move forward in life being as authentic as possible. I work with adolescents and adults who are often exhausted from trying to fit the mold of what others or society expects in regard to their appearance, identity, relationships, education, and/or career. These efforts often leave folks feeling inferior and full of self-doubt. Through collaborative work, I strive for people to feel empowered and capable of fighting back against the inner critic and overcome fears to experience a life that is worth living. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, body dysmorphia, and anxiety. I practice from a Health At Every Size, body neutrality model, and I am a queer and trans affirming therapist. My approach includes CBT, DBT, and the feminist approach. I also offer Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. Therapy should be a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel unconditionally supported. I recognize that each person is unique with their own needs and goals, celebrating diversity is central to my values. I understand how hard it can be to reach out for help. It takes a lot of courage to take that first step. Be proud of yourself.

How can you provide care remotely?
I offer teletherapy appointments through a secure video platform.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and New Jersey with a special interest in adjusting to medical illness and aging. A clinical health psychologist by training, I received my Ph.D. from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York after completing a pre-doctoral Clinical Psychology Internship at Mount Sinai Services/Elmhurst (2023). I also hold a Licentiate in Psychology from the Universidad de Palermo in Buenos Aires, Argentina (2013). I have specific expertise in helping adults adjust to chronic illness, including heart failure and other cardiovascular conditions, cancer and cancer survivorship, palliative and end-of-life care, diabetes, asthma, and GI/gastrointestinal disease, through my pre-doctoral externships and internship at Northwell Health/Long Island Jewish in Manhasset, Queens Hospital, and Elmhurst Hospital. My research has focused on aging adults’ adjustment to life with multiple chronic illnesses, including improving quality of life, reducing depressive symptoms, illness self-management, and patient-provider communication. In addition to my role as a therapist, I am also a Postdoctoral Associate in Behavioral Geriatrics in the Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, where I focus on understanding the relationship between living with multiple chronic conditions and depression, as well as improving care for this population. I am a member of the Gerontological Society of America and the Society for Behavioral Medicine, and an editorial board member for the Annals of Behavioral Medicine.

How can you provide care remotely?

I provide care remotely via my online telehealth platform. Once we have our free consultation call, you will get a welcome email with all the information to set your own account up on that platform, and on that platform, you'll be able to schedule your sessions as well as login to start our video sessions.
