Training
I earned a Doctorate and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Chatham University, Pittsburgh, PA, in 2018, and a BS in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh in 2008.
I completed a two-year postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical/McLean Hospital’s OCDI residential program in Belmont, MA, where I received extensive training in treating OCD and related disorders.
During my training, I worked in a variety of settings, including OCD residential treatment, a state forensic psychiatric hospital, substance abuse inpatient hospitalization, neurorehabilitation, and community mental health.

I integrate a variety of treatment techniques, with a primary focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches.
I utilize these intervention techniques from a person-centered stance that focuses on the therapeutic relationship.
I'm passionate about providing culturally sensitive care and strive to create a comfortable space for a spectrum of sociocultural identities.
