Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Great Neck, NY
As a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice, I specialize in psychodynamic and relational approaches to therapy. My practice focuses on helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and relational challenges through individual and group psychotherapy. With a doctorate from Long Island University and postgraduate training at Adelphi University's Derner Institute, I integrate contemporary psychoanalytic theory with modern telehealth platforms to explore unconscious relational processes. I maintain an active teaching role at several New York-area training programs while offering clinical supervision to mental health professionals.My work emphasizes creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to uncover hidden strengths and develop healthier relational patterns. Through collaborative exploration of emotions and experiences, I help clients achieve deeper self-understanding and meaningful life changes. My clinical approach incorporates specialized expertise in artistic and creative challenges, digital device management, and internet addiction. I have co-authored publications on psychodynamic approaches to creativity and addiction, and serve as chair of the Adelphi Society for Psychoanalysis' Meet the Author program.
