Clinical social worker specializing in teen anxiety and technology
I'm a therapist and educator focused on helping teens and families manage anxiety, especially as it relates to social media and technology use.
I teach at Columbia University, lead community education at The Ross Center in New York, and speak regularly about teen mental health and digital wellbeing.
My clinical work focuses on anxiety disorders in children, adolescents, and young adults. I'm particularly interested in how technology and social media intersect with mental health—both the challenges and the opportunities for support.
I use evidence-based treatments including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and exposure-based interventions. I work with individuals and families, and I collaborate with schools and community organizations.
