As a clinical child psychologist at the Child Study Center, part of Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone, I help children and adolescents reach their fullest potential through care that is strengths-based, culturally affirming and grounded in a systems perspective. By considering every facet of a child’s environment, from family dynamics to school influences, I ensure holistic collaborative care that promotes lasting well-being.
I specialize in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and disruptive behavior disorders, providing practical, evidence-based strategies that nurture relationships and foster positive change. My work often includes parent-focused interventions such as parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) and parent management training (PMT) to drive meaningful progress at home and school. I also treat anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, depression, and related concerns using interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
Having worked in a variety of settings including schools, residential programs and integrated primary care, I bring a collaborative and adaptable mindset to my work. My philosophy centers on trust, respect and open communication because progress happens when families, children and providers work together. I create an inclusive space where every individual feels understood, supported and empowered.
