I believe that psychological assessments provide individuals with a meaningful opportunity to learn more about themselves. Through my work as a clinical psychologist in both hospital and school settings, I have learned that each person brings a unique story shaped by developmental, environmental, and cultural experiences, requiring a multifaceted approach. Evaluations involve several steps that we complete together to gain a clear understanding of your concerns. Throughout the process, I want you to feel safe, supported, and comfortable sharing what’s important to you.
It’s just as important to me that you understand the outcomes of the evaluation and know what resources are available to support you. I try my best to explain everything clearly so you leave feeling informed and that the process was truly helpful. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your mental health journey.

“Understanding yourself changes how you move through the world”
I earned my doctorate in School-Clinical Child Psychology from Pace University, where I received comprehensive training working with children, adolescents, families, and adults through both coursework and direct clinical experience. My training emphasized psychological assessment across developmental stages, with a focus on thoughtful diagnostic clarification and case conceptualization.
I currently work as a clinical psychologist in the child psychiatric emergency room at Bellevue Hospital Center and the Children’s Center, where I evaluate a wide range of clinical presentations, including ADHD, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related concerns, and early or first-episode psychosis. This high-acuity setting has strengthened my ability to identify early signs of emerging diagnoses and to conduct careful, efficient assessments in complex situations.
These experiences have shaped my approach to assessment as both thorough and collaborative, with an emphasis on translating findings into clear, meaningful recommendations for patients, families, and providers
