About Me

I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Rutgers University. My research has examined how the process of regulating emotions is understood in contemporary psychotherapy practice, focusing on psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and emotion-focused therapy models. I completed specialized training in Perinatal Mental Health through the Seleni Institute in NY and advanced training in this area through Postpartum Support International.

I have written and presented on how representations of gender in media and art impact identity development in the digital age. I have held clinical positions at Lenox Hill Hospital, Zucker Hillside Hospital, and the Rutgers University Counseling Service.
