Professional Training and Experience

I am a licensed psychologist in the State of Pennsylvania (License Number: PS017255). I also practice via telehealth in 39 states through an interstate agreement called PSYPACT.  I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Boston University and completed advanced training at Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of Pennsylvania.  I specialize in individual and couples therapy for adults and am currently a psychoanalytic candidate at the Institute for Relational Psychoanalysis of Philadelphia.

Other institutions where I have worked and trained include the Danielsen Institute at Boston University, where I provided individual and group psychodynamic therapy and engaged in reflective study on the intersection of religion and spirituality with psychological health.  I also worked with college students at MIT Student Mental Health and Counseling and provided learning disability assessments and clinical supervision at the Psychological Services Center at Boston University.  I provided cognitive-behavioral treatment for anger management, anxiety, mood, and eating disorders at Boston University's Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, including the Eating Disorders Program, and at the General Mental Health and Mood Disorders Clinics at the VA-Boston Medical Center in Jamaica Plain.  

Culturally responsive provision of psychological services is very important to me. My formal training in this area has included coursework, seminars, and supervision focusing on racial, ethnic, and other cultural differences; LGBTQ issues; microaggressions; social justice in counseling; and attending to power and privilege in the therapy relationship.  I have worked with adults aged 17 – 84 years, from a wide range of racial, ethnic, and SES backgrounds.
