I completed a pre-doctoral internship in clinical psychology at WellSpan Health in Pennsylvania, which emphasized training in CBT and the integration of these skills into medical settings.

I completed a predoctoral externship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where I trained in Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy and delivered individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to patients and caregivers navigating oncology and bereavement, including interventions for active clinical trials.

I provided psychotherapy for immigrants and first-generation Americans across all my predoctoral training experiences.
