Get to Know Me

As a psychologist within Employee Health and Wellness and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), I provide essential psychological support to all employees. This includes offering short-term psychological assistance aimed at addressing immediate concerns and participating in institution-wide crisis intervention when necessary. My involvement in MSK extends beyond direct care; I play a crucial role in enhancing and creating initiatives focused on significantly increasing the availability and quality of mental health support for our employees.

In my care approach, I prioritize empathy, understanding, and evidence-based practices, tailoring psychological support to the unique needs of each individual. Acknowledging the diversity of backgrounds and challenges, I aim to foster a supportive environment that values and understands our employees. My work, grounded in the belief that mental health is vital for overall well-being, focuses on delivering effective interventions that address the specific stressors of working in healthcare, ensuring they resonate with our employees’ experiences.

My educational background and training have equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of human psychology, especially in the context of child and adolescent development. I completed my internship and post-doctorate fellowship at Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital (St. Luke’s-Roosevelt), where I focused on integrating clinical practices with family dynamics. I hold a PsyD in Child-Adolescent Clinical Psychology and an MSEd in School Psychology from Pace University, alongside an MA in Applied (Clinical) Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University.

Through short-term support, crisis intervention, and strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing mental health resources, I am dedicated to fostering a culture of care, resilience, and psychological safety within the organization.

Disclosures

Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.

MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
