about me
I am a licensed psychologist with offices in Manhattan and Short Hills, NJ. I am licensed in NY, NJ, and licensed to provide telehealth in 42 states. My expertise are in Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I have trained in public schools, community clinics, and private practices. At NYU Langone Child Study Center, I focused on providing CBT for children with ADHD, anxiety and mood disorders.
I discovered my passion for Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) while working at Cognitive & Behavioral Consultants (CBC), under the direct supervision of Dr. Alec Miller, (co-creator of DBT for adolescents). At CBC, I provided individual therapy and skills groups to adolescents, young adults, and parents. I continued providing CBT and completed my certification in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy. Additionally, I was able to make mental health resources more accessible to children by providing consultation and training to school administrators, educators, and mental health professionals. Since my early experiences in private practice, I have been providing Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Children (following intensive training with Francheska Perepletchikova, creator of DBT-C).
I am a Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) Certified Therapist and a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™.
Outside the office, you can find me watching/playing tennis, crafting, or trying to find the best bagels in Jersey.
