I am a clinical psychologist who is passionate about my work in supporting youth, young adults and their families to address life’s challenges. Over the past 16 years, I have worked with diverse patients who are coping with anxiety, depression, adjustment to chronic illness-particularly chronic pain conditions, challenges related to gender and sexual identity, as well as difficulties faced with peer and family relationships.

My expertise comes through years of work at multiple academic medical centers in the country, including my recent role as pediatric psychologist for 8 years in the pediatric headache program at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. I have also worked with the humanitarian organization, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)/Doctors Without Borders as I am passionate about supporting and improving the health of citizens globally, including expatriates, immigrants, and refugees.

My engagement in sessions involves a joint understanding and agreement of the challenges you would like to see change in your life, combined with recommendations and a treatment approach that is evidence-based. I am committed to providing the best care possible through an empathic environment that is sensitive to all areas of difference and a trusted partnership that is
foundational to improve coping and change. I am thrilled to be a part of CAYA Care and look forward to working with you.
