I am a Clinical Psychologist, Health Service Provider, licensed in Tennessee and Colorado, with over 23 years of clinical experience. Throughout my experience as a clinician and clinical psychologist I assessed and treated individuals from vastly different cultures, religions, gender and sexual orientations, ethnicities, economic, and developmental backgrounds. It is vitally important to me to work together collaboratively with all clients by valuing their individuality and the inherent diversity within each client's experience.

​

The foundation of my training and practice originally stems from Empirically Based Treatments (EBTs) and Empirically Based Processes (EBPs) and applying them in a variety of settings. These include hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient treatment centers in Chicago, IL, Bloomington, IN, and Seattle, WA.

​

I completed my two-year post-doctoral fellowship at the Evidence-Based Treatment Centers (EBTCS) of Seattle, and the DBT Center of Seattle, where I further develop my specializations in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and other evidence-based treatments for anxiety spectrum disorders and trauma-related conditions.​ My intensive post-doctoral training included weekly didactics with the developer of DBT, Marsha Linehan, PhD. Training also included weekly supervision from Anthony DuBose, PsyD, now Chief Training Executive at Behavioral Tech, LLC, Jennifer Sayrs, PhD, Executive Director of EBTCS and Co-Director of the DBT Center, Beatrice Aramburu, Ph.D., and Stacey Shaw Welch, PhD. 

​

My practice and interest in using EBTs with trauma-related conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, eventually led me to work with active duty service members and their families at the Stuttgart Army Behavioral Health Clinic located at the U.S. European Command (EUCOM) headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. While in Stuttgart, I provided psychological testing, assessment, consultation, and treatment for all branches of service, to include Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard.

​

Following my family's relocation back to the states from Germany I opened my private practice in service of continuing to offer effective and compassionate care.
