I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the State of New York and serve as Associate Director and Attending Psychologist for Montefiore Medical Center’s federally funded family-strengthening programs, Supporting Healthy Relationships and HERO Dads. I am also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where I supervise and teach doctoral-level psychology trainees.

​

I completed my APA-accredited predoctoral internship at NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi Medical Center and received my Ph.D. and M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Adelphi University. I graduated summa cum laude from Queens College, CUNY, with a B.A. in Psychology, and also completed my First Talmudic Degree at Shor Yoshuv Rabbinical College. I am a co-founder and Executive Board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Psychologists (AOJP).

​

My clinical training spans inpatient and outpatient settings across the lifespan, working with individuals from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. During internship, I received specialized training in trauma, substance use, psycho-oncology, and psychiatric assessment and diagnosis. In my postdoctoral training, I focused on couples and family therapy, completing advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) as well as Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Levels 1 and 2) and training in Treating Affairs and Relational Trauma.

​

I am also a certified facilitator of several evidence-based parenting and relationship programs, including 24/7 Dad, PREP 8.0, Supporting Father Involvement (SFI) and Nurturing Fathers. In my role as a sub-investigator on federally funded research projects, I oversee program evaluation, data systems, and clinical services while also providing direct psychotherapy to fathers, couples, and families.
