Bio

I supervise clinical services at CPS, and coordinate the Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Team. I also lead the UHS TIGERSPAW Team, which is a multidisciplinary group of clinicians that focuses on responding to the specific mental health needs of Princeton Student-Athletes. I was certified as a sport psychologist in 2013, and enjoy helping Student-Athletes and other elite performers with common issues including performance anxiety, adjustment to injuries or role transitions, motivation, concentration, and team-related concerns. I also have a particular interest and expertise in sleep issues.

I also am invested in supporting students who struggle academically for mental health reasons, including by meeting with many of those who take leaves of absence, as they depart and upon their return.  I lead the Back at Princeton group to assist these students as they readjust to campus life. 

I am of Mexican and Eastern-European Jewish descent, and am proud of my “J-Lat” heritage. I value working with students of diverse backgrounds across spectrums of identity. I have two sons and a rescue dog named Roxy, who I like taking to the dog park and on long, meandering walks.
