I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in cognitive-behavioral therapy and the application of mindfulness and meditation to psychotherapy.  I maintain a private practice in Union Square where I see patients, lead workshops, and provide professional supervision.  Recently, I wrote a book on the application of mindfulness to city experiences:  Urban Mindfulness: Cultivating Peace, Presence, and Purpose in the Middle of It All.
