My clinical experiences and interests focus on the treatment and prevention of mental health issues in adults, and college students in particular.  I am especially interested in the treatment of mood, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders, as well as other concerns that are particularly relevant to the young adult population, including body image, disordered eating, and religious/spiritual issues. In my clinical work and supervision, I utilize an integrative approach to treatment that emphasizes psychodynamic and humanistic therapy models. Additionally, I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for the treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults.  

I am currently serving as the Academic Liaison on the Central New York Psychological Association’s (CNYPA’s) Board of Directors and will serve as President of the organization in 2018.  I am also a member of the American Psychological Association (APA) and Association of Psychology Training Clinics (APTC).  

I am interested in the conceptualization and measurement of spirituality and religiousness, and in particular the meaning of these terms within the college student population.
