Meet Our Clinical Team
(The Therapists)
While each member of our team brings their own professional style to sessions, every clinician is rigorously trained in the same evidence-based treatment approach. We uphold a unified clinical standard of excellence across our practice. This ensures that no matter which clinician you see, you can expect the same exceptional quality of care, the defining hallmark of our work.
Founder & Director
Clinical Psychologist
Emotions can be just like a hot and painful flame. And running from painful emotions tends to lead to a whole bunch of problems.
I can’t wait to help you learn to live side by side with the fire.
Postdoctoral Fellow
Our brains are like beautifully intricate puzzles - but sometimes, the pieces don’t quite fit. I’m passionate about using diagnostic and neuropsychological evaluations to clarify diagnoses and guide my approach to evidence-based treatment. With the right tools and a foundation rooted in science, we can start to see the bigger picture and build a personalized path forward.
Postdoctoral Fellow
What feels painful or challenging isn’t always easy to confront, but you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can explore what’s keeping you stuck and uncover the tools that bring greater clarity and a deeper sense of meaning.
Staff Clinician
When we face distress or difficult emotions, it's natural to want to avoid or escape them. By learning healthy, effective ways to cope during these moments, we can gain greater freedom and well-being. I will work alongside you to build resilience and develop practical strategies for navigating life’s complexities with more skill, clarity, and peace.
Staff Clinician
Our thoughts and emotions can sometimes feel overwhelming. My hope is to journey with you as we learn to navigate those feelings and cultivate inner peace. Together, we’ll explore strategies that empower you to face challenges with confidence.

In a world that often pulls us in different directions, it's easy to feel disconnected from ourselves. My role is to help bring your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors into greater alignment so you can feel more grounded. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop confidence in your ability to create meaningful change, and work toward the growth and life you envision for yourself.

No matter how educated or intelligent someone else is, you know yourself best.
My goal is to help you access what is already inside you. Together we’ll use what we learn to help you make real, lasting changes.

We are all doing the best we can at every given moment, and that can be hard work. No matter how overwhelming your moments feel, you do not have to face it alone. Together, we will forge a personal path forward toward lasting, meaningful change.
Staff Clinician
My mission is to help you bridge the gap between mind and behavior, through harnessing the messy stuff called feelings. I’m excited to partner with you in this valuable work, and (most importantly) to have fun while doing it.
Staff Clinician
Every pot has its matching lid.
We all have strengths in different areas, and we all struggle in different ways. Because of this, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to find a personalized path that will empower you to overcome your struggles and reach your goals.
Clinical Psychology Extern
In a world often dominated by extremes, finding balance can feel challenging. My role is to support you in moving past limiting ways of thinking and toward a middle ground of growth and acceptance.

Website Manager
Rabbinical Advisor
When I began teaching in seminaries, it quickly became apparent that quality mental health care is a necessity for our community. It is a pleasure to collaborate with clinicians whose top priority is treatment that is effective for their clients within the proper halachik and hashkafik framework.
Undergraduate Intern
A sky full of stars can look like scattered dots until someone shows you the constellations. Psychology has taught me that our thoughts, emotions, and experiences can feel the same way, disconnected until we begin to see how they fit together. Learning to see the bigger picture helps us recognize that even the small, sometimes difficult moments become part of something meaningful- the story of our lives.
