She moved to New York for her psychiatry residency at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where she served as Chief Resident of the Psychiatric Observation Suite and immersed herself in psychodynamic psychotherapy, family systems therapy, and integrative care models. She went on to complete her geriatric psychiatry fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine and later completed a two-year fellowship in Innovations in Curriculum Design and Teaching Excellence and Medical Education Scholarship through the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
