E​xpertise

I specialize in treating anxiety and mood disorders in older children, adolescents, and young adults. I also have a strong interest and experience with supporting healthcare workers with compassion fatigue and burnout. I have a doctoral degree in clinical psychology with emphasis in human growth and development and family systems. My training and work experiences include providing assessments and therapy services at a pediatric hospital, residential treatment center, school setting, and outpatient mental health agencies. I've been in private practice for 18 years.
