Background

I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from The New School in New York City. During my clinical training I worked as a generalist practitioner providing treatment across the lifespan and gained experience in specialty settings including Inpatient Psychiatry, Outpatient Mental Health, University-Based Mental Health Counseling, Hospital Based Consultation-Liaison Services, and Assessment & Diagnostic Testing. I completed my pre-doctoral Internship at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City which included training in their Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder Clinic.

I completed my post-doctoral Fellowship at the Portland VA Hospital with a specialization in Women’s Mental Health and Primary Care-Mental Health Integration. I worked as an Assistant Professor and Clinical Psychologist at Oregon Health & Science University in their Adult Outpatient Clinic and I continue to supervise and teach psychotherapy to OHSU Psychiatry Residents.

In addition to clinical settings, I have worked as an educator in public schools and as a private executive functioning coach to children, adolescents, and adults with complex neuropsychological profiles and social/emotional needs.
