About Me
As a child clinical psychologist at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to understanding how young minds work and how children perceive and make sense of the world around them. My passion for this field stems from the profound impact that early support can have on a child’s development and wellbeing.
I specialize in working with children and adolescents who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), disruptive behavior conditions, anxiety, and early childhood challenges. My therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), parent–child interaction therapy (PCIT), and parent management training (PMT).
I am dedicated to building trusting, collaborative relationships in which both children and parents can grow, develop new skills, and feel supported throughout their journey. I also believe humor can be a powerful tool to connect, lighten the mood, and make challenging situations a little easier to navigate.
Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, extending my support beyond the therapy room. I co-developed an early childhood social media platform to share practical tips and strategies with parents and caregivers to ensure they can access valuable resources and support at all times.
As part of NYU Langone, I collaborate with a diverse team, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients. I am dedicated to helping children thrive and supporting families every step of the way by helping them discover lasting solutions that truly work for them.
