I am a current research fellow and clinical supervisor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, at the Psychiatry Research Institute at Montefiore Einstein. I previously completed an NIH-funded TL1 Fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College. I primarily work with Dr. Vilma Gabbay on biomarkers of attachment & separation anxiety, and Dr. Barbara Milrod on a clinical trial of psychodynamic psychotherapy for Veterans with PTSD who are treatment nonresponders to first-line VA therapies. I am trained as a clinical trialist and psychotherapy researcher, and my primary research interests involve using precision medicine methods (e.g., machine learning) to improve treatment of chronic or treatment-resistant mental illness.
From 2018 to 2019, I did my APA-accredited clinical psychology internship at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell. From 2013 to 2018, I was a doctoral student in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, where I received my PhD and was mentored by Dr. Robert DeRubeis at the DeRubeis Lab.
