About Me
I am a licensed psychologist with over 15 years experience in providing psychotherapy and clinical training.
I provide cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance and mindfulness based therapies. I use approaches that are supported by research, and I strive to provide therapy that is personalized to each individual or couple. I want to collaborate on setting therapy goals that are important and meaningful to you. I hope to create a true partnership in our work and build a relationship that feels secure.
I have worked in private practice, academic medical centers, hospitals, and community clinics. I have received specialized, advanced training in cognitive-behavioral therapies, including my graduate training at Temple University, under the mentorship of Richard Heimberg, and my post-doctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania, under the mentorship of Aaron T. Beck, Gregory Brown, and Amy Wenzel. I have also sought out training and practice in the area of mindfulness.
I have trained other mental health professionals, include doctoral-level clinical psychology students, clinicians within the Veterans Administration healthcare system, and Philadelphia-area community clinicians. I was a tenured faculty member at La Salle University, with 10+ years providing clinical supervision to trainees in their APA-accredited Psy.D. program. Currently, I am a Lecturer in the Psychology Department at Princeton University, teaching and providing mentorship to undergraduate students interested in mental health careers.
I have several areas of research interests, including studies aimed at understanding the association between trauma and suicide risk, and work focused on preventing suicide through clinical training and the development of clinical competencies. I am the author of several peer-reviewed journal articles, and I serve on the editorial board of the American Psychological Association journal Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice.
