I believe that the best care is a blend of deep expertise and authentic connection. My journey in psychology has been driven by a commitment to excellence—not just for the sake of the degrees, but so that I can offer you the very best tools for your growth and restoration.
My clinical training began at Barnard College, Columbia University, followed by my Masters and PhD from Rutgers University. I am a Board-Certified Clinical Psychologist, a distinction that reflects my dedication to the highest standards of our field.
I’ve had the privilege of serving in diverse settings, from the New York State Psychiatric Institute to the VA Health Care System. These experiences have shaped my approach into one that is both scientifically rigorous and deeply compassionate.
I specialize in evidence-based frameworks—proven tools like CBT, DBT, and ACT—integrated with a Faith-Based Christian perspective for those who wish to walk that path.
