As a child psychologist I believe that people are deeply shaped by their relationships, experiences, and environments—and that meaningful change happens when those factors are understood and intentionally supported. I work with families, children, adolescents, and my students to build skills, strengthen relationships, and use the supports around them to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

In my work as a licensed clinical psychologist in Massachusetts, I help kids and families meet their goals using evidence-based approaches. My training has always been focused on working with children and providing cutting-edge, research-based cognitive and behavioral treatments (CBT). I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University at Albany, State University of New York. I completed my predoctoral internship at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Nathanson Family Resilience Center at UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. From 2017 to 2019, I served as supervising clinical faculty at UCLA, where I trained other clinicians in evidence‑based treatments for children and families.

I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Stonehill College in Massachusetts. My work at Stonehill College is informed by the idea that I can continue to improve lives of youth, families, and students through education, service, and research.  I teach courses in child development, psychopathology, multicultural psychology, and psychotherapy. My work in teaching and research keeps me engaged with current psychological science, which directly informs my clinical practice as a psychologist providing therapy in Massachusetts.
