I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders in adolescents and adults. I have a particular interest in working with clients on relationship issues, body image concerns, academic struggles, and perfectionism. I utilize an active collaborative approach with a focus on harnessing each individual's unique strengths. I enjoy integrating acceptance-based cognitive behavioral tools as well as self-compassion and mindfulness into my therapeutic work. Trained in evidence-based techniques at Harvard and the University of Miami, I leverage the latest research findings to individualize treatment and optimize outcomes.
I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Duke University, graduating summa cum laude. I received a M.A. in Psychology from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from University of Miami. I completed my predoctoral internship at the University of Miami's Counseling Center.
I was trained in the treatment of anxiety disorders, including OCD, at the OCD Institute at McLean Hospital (Harvard Medical School), psychoeducational assessment at the Mailman Center for Child Development (University of Miami's School of Medicine), and eating disorders/body image concerns at Oliver-Pyatt Centers in South Miami.
