Professional Background
Clinical Experience
I have been seeing patients since 2017 in a variety of clinic- and hospital-based settings. I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Miami, where I specialized in Health Psychology/Behavioral Medicine and obtained a concentration in Quantitative Psychology. I completed my clinical internship/residency at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School in the Behavioral Medicine Program of the Department of Psychiatry. Prior to working at MGH, I provided psychological services at the Miami Veteran Affairs Medical Center and the University of Miami Trauma Treatment Program.
