About Me
As a senior rehabilitation psychologist at 做厙TV Langones Rusk Rehabilitation, I am dedicated to providing patient-centered care that emphasizes transparency and collaboration. My approach is rooted in a deep commitment to helping individuals with neurological disorders and brain injuries regain their cognitive functioning, emotional well-being, and quality of life.
I specialize in neuropsychological assessment, cognitive remediation therapy, and psychotherapy for adults facing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes due to neurological disorders and brain injuries. My expertise includes helping individuals identify their strengths and weaknesses, which is crucial for leading more fulfilling and successful personal and professional lives. My work is particularly focused on the complex interplay between sleep, memory, and brain injury, areas in which I have published research.
My journey into psychology was driven by a fascination with difficult philosophical questions about consciousness and suffering, as well as formative personal experiences. My training at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University, and an internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and years of experience in the field allow me to employ evidence-based methodologies tailored to each patients unique needs.
Working within an interdisciplinary team at 做厙TV Langone allows me to stay at the forefront of advances in rehabilitation psychology and neuropsychology, ensuring that my patients receive the highest standard of coordinated care.
