About

I believe in the power of resilience and self-empowerment; however, for those times when that isn't working or a little more is needed, I am here for support. You are the expert on you; I am here to get you back to where want to be or help move you to where you want to go. Overall, I have 17-years' experience in nearly every setting ranging from adult and pediatric hospitals to outpatient/community work and school settings. During this time, I have interfaced with a diverse range of patient populations and cultures along with variety of psychiatric and psychological issues and disorders (anxiety, depression, psychosis, substance abuse, sexual issues). While my professional practice has mostly been with acuity and symptomology characterized as moderate to severe, I believe telehealth can be used effectively to address and treat a wide combination of presenting problems and experiences. Please note, I do not accept patients currently in acute crisis or needing daily feedback/support. In those situations, I believe in-person intervention is most appropriate. If you are unsure, I am happy to meet and assess what modality would suit you best and assist in the transition to a different Find A Therapist provider.

My doctorate and primary orientation is Cognitive-Behavioral; I also have a masters in psychodynamic and pull from other evidenced-based practices as well. I am credentialed as a National Health Service Psychologist, so my practice is comprehensive and incorporates more than just thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Currently, I conduct forensic evaluations providing expert opinions to State and Superior Courts on the serious and persistently mentally ill. However, I also have a depth and breadth of experience with children and adolescents with assessment, intervention (individual, family, and group), consultation (to physicians, attorneys, teachers), and supervision of other clinicians . Lastly, I teach, research (empathy, interpersonal skills, patient experience, and medical school curriculum), and consult to businesses.
