Hello! I am a clinical psychologist and founder of the Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy in East Brunswick, NJ, where I provide therapy, school-based consultations, and professional development workshops focusing on the evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents with a variety of social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. My treatment approach utilizes research-supported techniques to treat clients according to their individualized needs. Additionally, I collaborate with parents, school personnel, and medical providers, and perform school-based observations when appropriate. I am passionate about helping and strive to provide straightforward feedback, a clear plan, and practical strategies.
I specialize in the evaluation and cognitive-behavioral treatment of youth with Tourette syndrome, the range of anxiety disorders, OCD, trichotillomania (hairpulling), ADHD and disruptive behavior, school refusal/avoidance, and autism spectrum disorders. I also provide independent evaluations, including functional behavioral assessments (FBAs) and behavior intervention plans (BIPs).
In addition to my practice, I am Clinical Assistant Professor and Coordinator of CBT Training for Child Psychiatry Fellows in the Department of Psychiatry at Rutgers-RWJ Medical School. I have previously served as the Assistant Research Director at the Rutgers Tourette Syndrome Program. I'm a frequent workshop presenter for schools and other organizations.
