My assessment style is collaborative, compassionate, and holistic, reflecting my belief that psychological testing should not only clarify diagnoses but also honor the unique perspective of each individual, allowing them to better understand themselves and the factors influencing their current functioning. My goal is to provide an environment that feels supportive, respectful, and trustworthy where you feel comfortable asking questions and actively participating in the evaluation process.
I use a strengths-based and person-centered lens to offer recommendations that are practical, meaningful, and individualized. Whether your goal is diagnostic clarification, accommodations, or greater self-understanding, I work collaboratively with you to ensure the evaluation process feels empowering, clinically useful, and informative.

“Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence”
I am a licensed psychologist in New York and New Jersey and am registered with PsyPact. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from William Paterson University after completing my B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Public Health. My academic journey was fueled by a passion for social justice, advocacy, and community health. These values continue to inform my work and commitment to providing thoughtful, culturally informed care.
Throughout my training, I have conducted assessments with individuals ranging from six years old to 94 in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked with individuals presenting with a range of concerns, including mood and anxiety disorders, chronic health conditions, severe mental illness, and intellectual and developmental disabilities. I also have experience conducting presurgical (bariatric) evaluations for adults, compensation & pension evaluations for veterans and active-duty service members, and psychoeducational assessments across the lifespan for OPWDD eligibility.
