I am a clinical psychologist and received my doctorate from Rutgers University, one of the top Psy.D. programs in the country. I initially focused on psychodynamic therapy but then switched my specialty to cognitive behavioral therapy, as I found it more effective and it better fit my personality (active, involved). I graduated in 2000 and received my license in California in 2002 as a clinical psychologist. I continue to receive training in cognitive behavioral therapy by the top researchers in the field, as I strongly believe in learning and becoming better in my field. Being a psychologist is so rewarding to me because I see how many people get better and thrive. I truly love what I do and will always do my best to help you.
