Education and Experience
I received my B.A. from Rutgers College and my Masters (Psy.M.) and Doctoral (Psy.D.) degrees from the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP) at Rutgers University.
At GSAPP, I work as a researcher and supervise and teach psychology doctoral candidates. I am a licensed psychologist in New Jersey (License # 6064) and New York (License # 022823-1). I have been trained in psychoanalysis, psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Awards and Honors
While a doctoral candidate, I received awards for my compassion, empathy, and patience in my work with adolescents. Although I continue to work with adolescents, I have received extensive training in individual and couples therapy with adults.
My many accomplishments include:
- Certification as a Psychoanalyst from the New Jersey Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis.
- A certificate in Evidence-Based Approaches to Addiction Treatment from the Center for Motivation and Change.
