I am a licensed psychologist who offers evidence-based treatments for children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, autism spectrum disorders, and disruptive behaviors.
I have worked with children, adolescents, and young adults in outpatient, community, and educational settings. I have cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) expertise for mood, anxiety, disruptive disorders, and I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ youth. I also have expertise in trauma-focused CBT, and I am trained in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for mood and anxiety disorders.
I have master’s degrees from Columbia University and Boston College and a Ph.D. from Boston College in counseling psychology. I completed a clinical internship and post-doctoral fellowship at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College. In addition to my clinical work, I am an assistant professor in the psychology department at Suffolk University, where I teach courses in a graduate mental health counseling program.
