After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Trinity College, I pursued a Master of Science in Social Work (MSW) at Columbia University. There, I specialized in Advanced Clinical Practice, training at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Department of Psychology. This included extensive training in evidence-based practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am certified in both CBT and DBT to treat a range of psychiatric disorders.

Recognizing that mindfulness –backed by scientific research– can significantly support mental health, I became a registered yoga teacher certified through Yoga Alliance. 

Nutrition can sometimes play a role in emotional and cognitive health. Thus, I completed a foundational Nutrition and Wellness Coaching certification at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. 

These certifications serve as a guide informing my approach, while allowing me to tailor treatments that produce lasting, impactful results. My short and long-term goals are the same: to help others to thrive and live meaningful lives.
