​

​Hello! My name is Heidi. I am a licensed psychologist with extensive experience providing evidence-based and trauma-informed care to children, adolescents and adults. My integrative approach incorporates psychodynamic and attachment-focused methods that are rooted in evidence-based practice. 

​

My therapeutic style is defined by supportive challenge — helping you step outside of your own perspective while ensuring you feel deeply cared for. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental environment that fosters trust. Through a blend of humor, validation, and compassionate regard, I will help you make sense of difficult experiences and create a roadmap for meaningful change. Ultimately, I focus on getting to know you and your needs. This tailored approach is effective for a wide range of difficulties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting struggles, self-esteem issues, relationship and family concerns, school-related difficulties, bereavement, career and life transitions. 

​

While I work with individuals across the lifespan struggling with a wide range of difficulties, I specialize in working with children, adolescents, young adults, perinatal women, and parents. Having gone through many of these challenges myself, I am drawn to supporting women through infertility, perinatal challenges, and the emotional complexities of motherhood. My own journey drove me to pursue additional training with Postpartum Support International. It is my goal to help women regain balance, confidence and a renewed sense of self as you move through life’s more tender and transformative moments.

A bit about me: I grew up in Vancouver Canada and received my undergraduate degree at McGill University. Being a dual citizen, I moved to New York City where I pursued my doctorate in Counseling Psychology at Fordham University. Prior to completing my predoctoral training at Elmhurst Hospital Center/Mt. Sinai Services, I worked in many different clinical capacities, including college counseling centers, child/adolescent and adult inpatient and outpatient settings, schools, partial hospitalization programs, primary care clinics and psychiatric emergency rooms. Across these diverse treatment settings, I have received extensive training in multiple evidence-based approaches. Prior to starting my own private practice, I was the Director of Training and a staff psychologist at a group practice in New York City.
