I am a clinical psychologist with extensive expertise in eating disorder treatment, spanning all levels of care—from inpatient and partial hospitalization to outpatient settings. Since 2016, I have been the psychologist for the Project ECHO Eating Disorder team (funded by the WNYCCCED Grant from New York State), where I contributes to statewide efforts to expand access to evidence-based care through collaborative, education-focused initiatives.

My clinical work is grounded in Relational-Cultural Theory, emphasizing connection, mutual empathy, and the impact of social context on psychological well-being. In my private practice, I provide therapy to individuals, couples, and groups with a relational, trauma-informed approach.

I am is also deeply committed to prevention and early intervention, offering training to parents, educators, and healthcare providers on topics such as body image, anti-fat bias, and disordered eating—with the goal of ensuring that young people are not left to navigate these complex issues alone.

I do my best to bring a grounded and compassionate perspective to both clinical and educational work, integrating research-driven practices with a deep respect for each person's lived experience. I am the mother of three deeply feeling children who humble and challenge me (and all my psychology training) daily, and the caregiver to several pets—including Pepper, a beloved therapy dog whose calm presence, attuned sense of empathy, and endless gifts of assorted stuffed toys enrich the therapeutic environment.
