MY QUALIFICATIONS
BRIEF BIO
My background includes a B.A. in Psychology from Brown University (magna cum laude) where I graduated as a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society. I went onto receive a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Boston University and thereafter I completed a year-long predoctoral internship in Child and Adolescent Psychology at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at Mount Sinai’s Eating and Weight Disorders Program, and have been on the faculty at Mount Sinai as a Clinical Instructor since 2008. I began working at the Hallowell Center in 2012, and serve as their Director of Clinical Training. I am a member of the Academy of Eating Disorders (AED), the New York Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Association (NY-CBT) and Postpartum Support International (PSI).
In addition to my clinical experience, my strengths include teaching, supervision and research. I greatly enjoy supervising psychiatry residents and psychology graduate students learning how to implement CBT and other evidence-based therapies. I provide weekly clinical supervision for trainees at the NYU Center for Counseling and Community Wellbeing and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Additionally, I have served as a clinician for grant-funded treatment studies for anorexia nervosa and pediatric obesity, and I have published several papers related to child and adolescent issues. These experiences have afforded me the opportunity to provide special lectures, and I enjoy speaking occasionally at hospitals and clinics about a variety of topics related to empirically supported treatments across the age spectrum. More recently, I have been writing about parenting/adjusting to new parenthood and have contributed to blogs across several different platforms.
