She received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Loyola College in Maryland and completed her internship at Friends Hospital in Philadelphia. After joining Loyola College her clinical and academic interests expanded including psychotherapy with survivors of torture and trauma, mind & body psychology, elderly and most recently eating disorders.
