About
I am a clinical psychologist who provides psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I also work with parents to provide skills coaching and with families to address clinical problems impacting the family unit. Additionally, I provide Family Based Treatment (FBT) for families of adolescents with disordered eating. I work collaboratively with my clients, taking an active, empathic and non-judgmental stance to support growth as they work to make difficult changes and achieve treatment goals.
Clinical Background
I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. Prior to completing my doctoral degree, I earned my MA and BA in Psychology from New York University. I completed an APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Child and Adolescent Psychology and a postdoctoral fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychology at NY Presbyterian/Weil Cornell Medical Center’s Westchester Division. Prior to private practice, I was an Assistant Professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Attending Psychologist in Montefiore Medical Center’s Child Outpatient Psychiatry Department, where I also worked clinically within the Eating Disorder Program at Montefiore (EDPM). I am currently a member of several professional organizations including the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy (ABCT), Connecticut Psychological Association (CPA), and the Women’s Mental Health Consortium (WMHC).
Throughout my clinical career, I have worked in a variety of treatment settings including outpatient hospital clinics, community-based mental health clinics, inpatient hospitals, and schools. I have experience working with individuals of many genders, sexual orientations, racial and ethnic identities, and religious and spiritual backgrounds, and welcome working with individuals of diverse backgrounds in my clinical practice.
