As a psychologist at NYU Langone’s Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center, I provide behavioral health services to patients who have gastrointestinal illnesses.

I help patients develop strategies for coping with emotional and interpersonal issues related to their physical conditions and teach relaxation techniques to foster a healthier gut–brain relationship. I also run several support groups, including those focused on colorectal surgery, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and young adults. In addition, I facilitate a peer-to-peer buddy program.

I conduct research and training at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. I also coordinate the NYU Health Psychology Working Group, co-lead the Gastrointestinal Psychology Development Committee for the Rome Foundation, and am a member of the Healthcare Professional Engagement Committee of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation.
