Preferred Name: Carolyn
About Me
Welcome! I’m a clinical psychologist in private practice in New York with over 14 years of experience helping adults move through anxiety, depression, difficult transitions, and the lasting effects of trauma. I specialize in treating trauma-related concerns as well as mood and anxiety disorders in pregnancy and postpartum. Whether you're been struggling with long-standing issues or are facing a new problem, my approach is welcoming and collaborative, focused on helping you deepen self awareness, see fresh perspectives as you navigate life’s challenges, and make meaningful, positive changes in your life.
Education & Experience
I integrate an insight oriented - relational approach with structured, evidence-based techniques, specifically eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I am EMDR Certified as well as Perinatal Mental Health Certified. My practice offers traditional weekly talk therapy or a short term, more immersive experience with EMDR Intensives.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can ask questions, share what’s bringing you in, and see if we’re a good fit. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and confident as you begin moving forward.
Professional & Volunteer Affiliations
I have extensive experience evaluating and treating trauma-related conditions, including PTSD, with Veterans, active duty service members, and individuals receiving care in hospital settings. I earned my B.A. in Psychology from Barnard College of Columbia University and mt Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Yeshiva University, followed by advanced clinical training at New York University’s Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation. I completed a postdoctoral fellowship and subsequently served for six years as a Staff Psychologist with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
I am a member of various professional organizations including EMDRIA, Postpartum Support International (PSI) and several local professional organizations.
