Clinical Interests
I have been prac­tic­ing as a clin­i­cal psy­chol­o­gist for over 25 years and I love it. Cur­rent­ly, I spe­cial­ize in work­ing with ado­les­cents and adults 15 and old­er in indi­vid­ual and cou­ples ther­a­py. I also pro­vide par­ent­ing inter­ven­tions for all ages, and espe­cial­ly enjoy help­ing fam­i­lies par­ent­ing emerg­ing adults. My treat­ment approach tends to be goal-ori­ent­ed includ­ing cog­ni­tive behav­ioral ther­a­py as well as devel­op­men­tal and fam­i­ly sys­tems the­o­ries. Mod­els such as ACT, IFS, Exposure/​Response Pre­ven­tion, and Mind­ful­ness are com­mon­ly used. My clin­i­cal expe­ri­ence includes treat­ing anx­i­ety, depres­sion, ADHD, obses­sive-com­pul­sive dis­or­der, adjust­ment and tran­si­tion issues, grief coun­sel­ing, com­mu­ni­ca­tion and rela­tion­ship issues, par­ent­ing, and stress man­age­ment. I also work well with fam­i­lies and cou­ples around strug­gles relat­ed to divorce or separation.
Personal Interests
When not work­ing, I enjoy spend­ing time with my hus­band, chil­dren, and two dogs. Any­thing out­doors is my sweet spot. I’m also a big sports fan and enjoy serv­ing at my church.
