Professional Background

Clinical Experience

 

I have been working with patients since 2017 across a range 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 and Behavioral Medicine with 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 clinical training includes the Miami VA Medical Center and the University of Miami Trauma Treatment Program.
