After graduating from McGill University, I spent three years helping to build and grow a child-focused tech startup and later a new division of a large media company. My success in the business world helped define my interests in entrepreneurship and innovation that has carried on to this day.

After receiving my doctorate from St. John’s University,  I’ve received solid evidence based training in cutting edge psychological treatments for young people. I worked primarily at the Child Mind Institute (CMI), as an extern, post doctoral fellow, and a clinical attending in both the anxiety and mood disorders centers. While at CMI, I helped build a pediatric intensive OCD program, a skills-based summer program for college bound young adults, and built a now well-established RO DBT program. I am now skilled in the treatment of anxiety, mood (including depression), and personality disorders, as well as OCD and related disorders, eating disorders, and co-occurring ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. 

Another goal of mine is to pursue opportunities to de-stigmatize mental health in the media. Additionally, I give talks and make media appearances utilizing my expertise on the impact of social media and technology on the developing brain. I have collaborated with outlets such as Instagram, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, NBC, Common Sense Media, and the Born This Way Foundation to provide information on mental health to the masses.

In February of 2021, I started my own practice to be able to allocate my time and resources to my patients first and foremost, and help them achieve their goals. I bring my extensive training in several forms of DBT, RO DBT, CBT and ERP to each person I work with, developing personalized and flexible treatment plans to maximize success. I lead with kindness and invest time in the therapeutic relationship to build genuine trust and clarity.
