      <image:title>About - My Therapeutic Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>With each patient, I start from a place of genuine compassion and empathic attunement, and then I look to a variety of therapeutic perspectives to help individualize treatment for each patient. I have been lucky to receive training in numerous treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based approaches, and Emotion Focused Therapy. I integrate these perspectives to create a warm, accepting therapeutic style that is informed by clinical science, and I also emphasize the unique personal values, identities, and cultural backgrounds of each client with whom I work.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - My Background</image:title>
      <image:caption>I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology from the College of William and Mary, a Master’s in Psychology from Villanova University, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from St. John’s University. I participated in clinical training in hospitals and clinics throughout New York City, including a Predoctoral Internship at Northwell Health and a Postdoctoral Fellowship at VA NY Harbor, Manhattan Campus. After my training, I served as a Staff Psychologist at VA NY Harbor, where I provided evidence-based individual and couples therapy to military veterans and their families. I’m currently providing care at NYU’s Military Family Clinic, and I am a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at NYU’s School of Medicine. Through this role, I also supervise psychology externs, psychology postdoctoral fellows, and psychiatry residents in CBT and short-term psychotherapy.</image:caption>
