Biological predisposition, adjustment to life changes, meeting of developmental milestones, and traumatic events can culminate in a perfect storm to create emotional and behavioral dysregulation. I have both experienced a perfect storm and have guided many people to calmer waters. 

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 in a pediatric hospital, residential treatment center, school setting, and outpatient mental health agencies. I've been in private practice for over 15 years.
