I received my doctorate in School-Clinical Psychology from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University. During my pre-doctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at Cognitive and Behavioral Consultants (CBC), I provided individual, group, and family therapy, co-led CBT and DBT groups, conducted neuropsychological evaluations, and trained schools in implementing these therapies. Prior to working at CBC, I held externship positions at the Anxiety Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute, Montefiore Medical Center’s Rose F.
