I graduated from Walden University with a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a master’s degree in psychology. I also hold a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. My clinical rotations included working with adults and juveniles within family court and the Department of Child Safety. I have primarily worked with a clinical and forensic population. I have also completed rotations within hospital settings providing on-call mental health assessments. I was additionally formally trained in child development and family bonding. I have conducted forensic, violence risk, psychosexual, neuropsychological, autism, bonding best interest, and diagnostic evaluations. I specialize in several assessments including the AASI and ADOS-2. I also have a passion for psychopharmacology and have been an active member and participant in the Psych Congress for the last 7 years.

In therapy, I have worked with children, adolescents, families working toward reunification, couples, and with adults experiencing varying life stressors. I have a passion for working with children/adolescents, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent individuals, and assisting individuals through traumatic experiences. My primary orientation is behavioral, specifically dialectical behavioral therapy of which I am certified. I am also certified and trained in providing trauma-specific treatment and have held a CCTP through the IATP.

I am also working towards obtaining full licensure as I study for my licensing exam.
