Personal Statement

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in evidence-based interventions for children, adolescents, and young adults suffering from anxiety and mood disorders. As a postdoctoral fellow in the Weill Cornell Pediatric OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders (POCAT) Program, I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety disorders, including selective mutism, social anxiety disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. Additionally, I am a certified Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) clinician and provide services to young children exhibiting anxiety, mood, or behavioral difficulties and their families. Within my faculty practice, I offer a variety of clinical services including diagnostic assessments, consultations, and individual, parent-based, and group psychotherapy. In my research, I largely focus on developing and evaluating the efficacy of intensive group behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders, particularly selective mutism, and examining the role of family accommodation in anxiety treatment outcomes.
