​

I’m a licensed psychologist based in New York who focuses on anxiety and neurodivergence. I do therapy with teens and adults, parent support, autism assessments, and trainings for professionals. My license allows me to work with people who are in New York, Connecticut, Florida, Vermont, and Puerto Rico.

​

I have extensive training in psychotherapy, testing assessments, human development, and learning. After receiving my PhD from the APA-accredited School Psychology program at Kent State University, I completed two years of advanced post-doctoral training in psychotherapy and autism evaluations at the Center for Autism and the Child Development Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. I’ve also taught university graduate students.
