I am a native Floridian who attended Pine Crest School in both Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale. I graduated Emory University with my Bachelors of Arts and Nova Southeastern University with my doctorate in psychology (Psy.D.). Currently, I am a Florida licensed clinical psychologist in private practice. My training and work experience includes schools, medical centers, university-based clinics, hospitals, and private practices. As a knowledgeable professional, I have years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults as well as couples and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.
It is important to me to be an active, respected member of our community on both a personal and professional level. As the current President of the Florida Psychological Association (FPA) Palm Chapter, I lead the development and implementation of policies that will have a positive impact on the field of psychology and our community. Some of the other leadership positions I currently hold are Editor-in-Chief of the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) Academy of Couple & Family Psychology newsletter, and Early Career Psychologist Board Member of the ABPP Academy of Couple & Family Psychology. In addition, I have my vendor badge approved by the Palm Beach School District Police Department. This allows me to provide services at any Palm Beach County school. I am also a qualified, court-appointed expert witness for Broward County and Miami-Dade County. I have been a featured guest on Miami’s radio station Power96.5 (owned by CBS Radio Stations Inc.) morning show discussing relationships. As a member of numerous local and national organizations, such as the Society for Family Psychologists, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Boca Raton’s Promise, and many more, I stay involved and connected to a large network of professionals.
