About me
I am a licensed psychologist in the state of California (CA PSY25875). I graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, before attending Dartmouth College, where I studied music cognition, graduating with a Ph.D. in experimental psychology. My doctoral dissertation, “Affective and Perceptual Judgments of Major and Minor Musical Stimuli,” investigated some of the determinants of music’s emotional meaning.
After Dartmouth, I re-specialized in clinical psychology at Palo Alto University’s Pacific Graduate School of Psychology (PGSP). While at PGSP, I trained at The Shyness Clinic in Los Altos, specializing in group and individual cognitive behavioral therapy for social anxiety. I completed my internship at the University of Southern California Student Counseling Services, where I worked with both graduate and undergraduate students, providing time-limited therapy, crisis intervention, and group therapy.
I pursued my post-doctoral training at Kaiser Permanente, Santa Clara, where I provided individual therapy, group therapy, and psychological assessments. While at Kaiser, I co-led Dialectical Behavioral Therapy groups, a Social Anxiety Group, a Young Women’s Group, and Panic Recovery groups.
