Education and Experiences

I am a clinical psychologist and an associate professor at Rutgers University. I have been seeing couples, families, children, and adults from diverse backgrounds for almost 20 years. I received my B.A. in psychology from Pomona College in Claremont, California, and my M.A. and Ph.D. from Michigan State University. Both are dual degrees in urban studies and clinical psychology, with a concentration on children and families within clinical psychology. I am licensed in the state of New Jersey and I have practiced at both Rutgers University (12½ years) and the Princeton Family Institute (one year). I have extensive experience in providing all levels of care, including outpatient, residential, and inpatient therapy. I have facilitated inpatient and outpatient groups for youth and adults, and provided crisis intervention. In addition, I have over five years of experience treating individuals and couples in randomized clinical trials adapting behavioral marital therapy to treat male and female drug and alcohol abuse and dependence. Currently, my sole practice is in Highland Park.
