I received my Doctorate of Psychology in Counseling Psychology from Northwest University (APA-accredited program), during which I received considerable training in outpatient therapy, behavioral medicine at healthcare clinics, and neuropsychology. I completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship with the National Alliance for Eating Disorders.  I stay up to date on the current research, attend regular trainings, and collaborate regularly with colleagues so that I am providing you the best care possible. ​​I am a licensed psychologist in Florida, and licensed to practice via PSYPACT in AL, AZ, AR, CO, CNMI, CT, DE, DC, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MI, MN, MO, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY. 

On a more personal note, therapy is my passion. I've known since I was 12 years old that this is what I've wanted to do. I am fiercely passionate about helping you find freedom from any sort of shame, guilt, low-self esteem, or anxiety that binds you. I know what it's like to feel totally and completely stuck. Let's work together to take the next step forward. ​     

Finding the right therapist can feel daunting, and my job is to make it as comfortable as possible! I offer a complimentary phone consultation so that you can see if we might be a good fit. This also allows me the opportunity to assess if my experience best fits your needs.

   Although I tailor your therapy to your specific needs, goals, and personality, I have extensive training using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and often integrate these approaches into my work.​ With ACT, I help people figure out what's really important to them, develop goals that'll have them live according to what's most important, and then work through the barriers that get in their way of achieving these goals.

To understand what that means, picture two mountains rising side-by-side. You're on one, I'm on the other. Both climbs have their share of rough terrain and breathtaking vistas. You know your mountain intimately – every dip, every rise, every hidden pathway. But from my vantage point on my own peak, I can see things you might miss from yours. I have a broader view of the landscape, potential pitfalls, and alternative routes you might not have considered. I can offer a different perspective, not to replace your own knowledge of your journey, but to complement it and help you navigate the path ahead.
