I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a passion for providing high quality care. Alongside work with clients, I am a researcher and author of the books Facing Eating Disorder Fears: Therapist Guide and Client Workbook. I have published over 30 articles and chapters focused on improving treatment for eating and anxiety disorders.
I have extensive training and experience in evidence-based treatments for those with anxiety, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress, among other concerns. My expertise in these areas developed during my doctoral training at Temple University where I trained in the Adult Anxiety Clinic at Temple (AACT) under the mentorship of Dr. Richard Heimberg, and in the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety at the University of Pennsylvania. I am certified in Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD and in Prolonged Exposure for PTSD.
Additionally, I received specialized training in the treatment of eating disorders at the Drexel WELL Center and the UCSD Center for Eating Disorders Treatment and Research. Over the past decade, I have worked at all levels of care including outpatient clinics, a partial hospitalization program, and an inpatient unit.
I am passionate about integrating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches. I work as a team with my clients to identify their goals for therapy and create a plan to help them achieve those goals.
