MY STORY

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist based in Atlanta, GA.

​

Life introduces a number of challenges and stressors that can be short-lived or persistent. Treatment involves exploring how you understand and engage with what you may be experiencing. Using a collaborative approach informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, my aim is to help clients manage distress with curiosity and acceptance, engage with what truly matters, and develop a more authentic relationship with the world around them.

​

I specialize in treatment for individuals living with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders and psychotic-like experiences, bipolar disorders, anxiety, and changes in mood and behavior.  I am particularly interested in helping teens and young adults with these experiences for the first time.

​

I have a genuine interest in the unique experience of individuals and work to understand how hardships and joys are experienced by those I am fortunate to help. A proponent of the recovery model, I strive for the cultivation of healing, hope, and empowerment.

​

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

I received B.A. degrees in Psychology and Sociology, and a M.A. degree in Experimental Psychology from Western Kentucky University. I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Louisville.

​

My pre-doctoral internship was completed at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Mental Health Center in Boston, MA. I completed my post-doctoral fellowship at Emory University and Grady Health System in Atlanta, GA.
