About Me

IMG-2597 head shot 2021.jpg

I am a licensed psychologist and have been in private practice since 2005. I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. My clinical training has been both diverse and specialized. I’ve worked in a variety of settings including urban hospitals, community mental health centers, private residential treatment centers, social services agencies, city school systems, and a university counseling center.

​

Early in my training, I served as a research assistant on multiple studies funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

I received extensive training in psychoeducational assessment and neuropsychological assessment. I completed a two year post-doctoral fellowship in the Baltimore City Public School System where I largely focused on testing and community mental health with immigrant populations.


I have comprehensive training in the treatment of eating disorders and the majority of my practice is devoted to this area. Before entering private practice I worked at The Renfrew Center in Coconut Creek, Florida as well as The Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt in Towson, Maryland. I am passionate about promoting positive body image and empowering young girls and women. I am also committed to helping those in mid-life who are struggling for the first time with disordered eating or who have relapsed after many years of being in recovery. Additionally, I work with parents and partners who have a loved one in treatment for an eating disorder, providing education and support. 

​

Additionally, I enjoy working with graduate students who are in masters and doctoral programs, as well as mental health professionals who have been in the field for quite some time. Whether you are looking to work on longstanding concerns or those that may have recently come to light, I look forward to meeting you!
