I began my career in psychology studying rats in a lab at Princeton University. My work with an animal model of eating disorders connected me with a team of researchers at Columbia University Medical Center who studied eating disorders in people, which I ultimately found a much more rewarding experience. My experience as a research assistant at the Columbia Center for Eating Disorders inspired me to pursue my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology, and I was fortunate enough to return there as a full-time psychologist after completing my doctorate. My husband's career brought us to Florida in 2016, where I initially served as Clinical Director of ViaMar Health, an eating disorders treatment center in West Palm Beach. In 2019, six months after my first daughter was born, I opened my private practice in Palm Beach Gardens. One pandemic and two more daughters later, I am still doing what I love: bringing together my scientific and clinical backgrounds to deliver high quality care in every therapy session, evaluation, and consultation.
