I am an Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology (PsyD). I received an M.A. from Boston College and Ph.D. from Northeastern University. I also completed a pre-doctoral internship at Dartmouth Medical School, and trained as a postdoctoral fellow at the Providence VA, Brown Medical School. As a licensed psychologist, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults within various settings and levels of treatment, utilizing evidence-based treatment models. My current research focuses on the treatment of pediatric eating disorders. Before joining Bryant, I served as an Associate Professor and Clinical Director within the Mental Health Counseling Program at Rhode Island College.
