About me…

I am a licensed Counseling Psychologist based in Ohio, with a wealth of experience in adult mental health with a particular emphasis on collegiate mental health and emerging adulthood.  I love working with people who are "finding themselves."  That is what drew me to working with college students - early adulthood is one of the biggest transitions that we can experience!

On a more personal note, my academic journey actually started at Ohio University, where I earned my BA in Psychology and Women's & Gender Studies. After that, I moved to Lubbock, Texas, where I completed my MA and PhD in Counseling Psychology at Texas Tech University. 

After 6 years in Texas, Ohio called me home!  I completed my doctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship at The Ohio State University's Counseling and Consultation Service, and after this I returned home to Athens, Ohio and worked for Ohio University as a psychologist and Training Director at Counseling and Psychological Services. 

At this time I am in private practice full time where I have the privilege to work with a wide range of folks providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to their unique needs and life experiences. My focus is on fostering a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, discover their strengths, and work towards meaningful personal growth.

In addition to my professional pursuits, I practice yoga and meditation, which I find invaluable in maintaining balance and continuing my personal growth journey. I also enjoy reading, nature, running, music, podcasts, eating my partner's delicious food, and stand-up comedy. Spending time with loved ones and exploring Southeastern Ohio are also very important to me.
