I hold a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Miami, where I was trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a treatment approach I continue to value deeply. My clinical training took place in settings as varied as a university-based psychological services center, a state psychiatric hospital, and a community mental health clinic—each offering a unique lens into people’s lived experiences. I completed my internship at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) on the Cognitive Behavioral Scientist Track, which allowed me to further refine my clinical approach. I then stayed on at MGH for a postdoctoral fellowship at the Bipolar Clinic and Research Program, where I researched adaptations of mindfulness-based and dialectical behavior therapies to better meet the needs of people with bipolar disorder.

Before starting my private practice, I served as a staff psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and as an Instructor at Harvard Medical School. At MGH, I contributed to several collaborative care teams, including urgent care, primary care, and DBT consultation services. My clinical work involved diagnostic assessment and treatment planning, individual and group therapy, and the opportunity to support the next generation of clinicians through training and supervision of psychiatry residents and psychology interns. These experiences deepened my appreciation for integrative, team-based care and reinforced my commitment to thoughtful, person-centered treatment.
