I earned my master’s and doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology at La Salle University in Philadelphia, PA and completed my clinical internship at UMass Memorial Community Healthlink’s Youth & Family Center (CHL-YFC) in Worcester, MA. I began my professional career as a real estate paralegal for a law firm in downtown Manhattan while attending college courses at Hunter College. I completed my undergraduate studies summa cum laude at Stony Brook University, where I initially pursued my interest in working with young children as a preschool assistant at Stony Brook Child Care Services. Throughout my graduate career, I tailored my experiences to focus heavily on providing evaluation, assessment, and therapy services to children, adolescents, and their families in a residential, day, and crisis facility in New Castle, DE as well as within a community outpatient clinic, elementary and middle schools, and a sexual abuse outpatient facility in Philadelphia. I also assumed an adjunct professor position in La Salle’s undergraduate psychology program.

Before returning to New York City, I was a staff psychologist at CHL-YFC, providing outpatient therapy, consultation services to preschool and day care programs across central Massachusetts, and supervising doctoral interns’ psychological assessments.

Since my return, I have assumed a position as the Assistant Director of The Child & Family Institute-Brooklyn where I provide outpatient therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults, began teaching as an adjunct assistant professor in the Psychology Department at Brooklyn College, and am acting Secretary in the Brooklyn Psychological Association.
