She has received awards for clinical teaching as well as was a three-time recipient of the resident appreciation award during her time as Program Director.

She had an early clinical interest in psychological trauma in residency at Columbia Presbyterian in the early 1990's with the release of Judith Herman's book Trauma and Recovery and her areas of interest in teaching are trauma, dissociation, and personality disorders. In 2022, she gave a Grand Rounds presentation entitled "The Nature of Belief and the Diagnosis of DID" based on her 16 years of clinical experience as an inpatient psychiatrist.
