Clear answers for adult ADHD, Autism & OCD in New York & Connecticut.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in both New York and Connecticut, and I'm currently taking new adult clients in each state. All of my sessions happen over secure video, so you can work with me from home instead of commuting to an office. The place to start is a free 15-minute call. I specialize in adult ADHD, OCD, Autism, and PDA, and I also see people for anxiety and binge eating.

Yes. I'm taking new adult patients across New York and Connecticut. I'm licensed in both states and work with people throughout New York City, Long Island, Westchester, and the Hudson Valley, as well as Stamford, Greenwich, Fairfield County, New Haven, Hartford, and the rest of Connecticut.

It's an evaluation that treats ADHD as a difference in how your brain is wired rather than a defect to be corrected. I use standardized, evidence-based tools to map how your attention and executive function actually work, then explain what that means for your daily life. If you meet criteria, you get the diagnosis, and either way you get recommendations specific enough to use.

Yes. I do all adult ADHD and Autism testing by secure video for clients in New York and Connecticut. You fill out questionnaires ahead of time and we do the interview portion across a few sessions, from wherever you are.

For an adult ADHD evaluation, plan on two to three video sessions plus questionnaires you complete in between. An Autism assessment using the MIGDAS interview usually takes about three sessions. We can walk through the timeline on the free consultation call.

MIGDAS stands for Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum. It's a sensory-based, conversational interview rather than a checklist, which is part of why it tends to work better for adults who learned to mask early. We talk about how you actually experience sound, texture, social contact, and communication, and I use that alongside standardized questionnaires.

ERP stands for Exposure and Response Prevention, and it's the treatment with the strongest research support for OCD. We gradually approach the thoughts and situations you have been avoiding while you practice not doing the compulsion. It's uncomfortable at the start, and it works considerably better than talking about the anxiety.

Yes, I hold clinical psychology licenses in both New York and Connecticut. That's what allows me to see clients in either state by telehealth.

No, I'm a private-pay practice. I give you a superbill after each session that you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. How much comes back depends on your plan, so it's worth calling them to ask what your out-of-network outpatient mental health benefit covers.

It's a free 15-minute call. You tell me what's going on, I tell you honestly whether it's something I work with, and you ask whatever you want about how I practice. There's no obligation, and if I'm not the right fit I'll try to point you toward someone who is.

PDA is a profile often seen alongside Autism, where ordinary everyday demands set off a real threat response. From the outside it can look like defiance, but it is driven by anxiety. I coach parents to read their child's nervous system, bring the demand pressure down, and get further through connection than through consequences. Parent coaching isn't restricted by state licensing, so I can work with families anywhere.

I earned my B.A. at Stanford University and my Ph.D. at Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University. My clinical training was at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City, at the Bronx VA where I specialized in DBT, and at The Center for CBT where I trained in ERP for OCD. I'm CBT-trained and draw on ERP, DBT, and ACT depending on what someone needs.

Yes. I see adults in all five boroughs, meaning Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, along with Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, and upstate New York. All of it by secure video.

Yes. I work with adults throughout Connecticut, including Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, Westport, Fairfield, New Haven, and Hartford, and across Fairfield and Litchfield counties, all by secure video.

Because I work entirely by telehealth, "near me" matters less than it used to. Any adult living in New York or Connecticut can see me from home, so you aren't limited to whoever happens to keep an office in your town. That matters most with OCD, where clinicians properly trained in ERP are genuinely hard to find outside the bigger cities.
