About Me
I am a licensed clinical psychologist (MA and RI), and recognized expert in the treatment of anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in youth and young adults, with over 10 years of experience treating youth, adolescents, young adults, and their families. In addition to anxiety and OCD, I also provide time-limited consultation related to the treatment of behavioral sleep problems in youth.
I obtained my PhD in clinical psychology at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. While there, I pursued two years of additional clinical training through the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). I completed my residency and postdoctoral fellowship at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University where I provided clinical care to patients at Bradley Hospital and Hasbro Children's Hospital.
I have published over 30 peer-reviewed articles focused on the treatment of youth with anxiety, OCD, and behavioral sleep problems. I am currently on the editorial board of Cognitive and Behavioral Practice and the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology. I was also formerly an Associate Editor at Cognitive and Behavioral Practice. I have received awards from the National Institutes of Health and the Society for a Science of Clinical Psychology. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology at William James College and Associate Director for the Center for Psychological Science. In these roles, I supervise, mentor, and teach doctoral students in clinical psychology. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, cycling, and spending time with my partner, son, dog, and two cats.
