As a PhD-level psychologist, I have been working in private practice for over 12 years specializing in treating anxiety, depression, stress, career issues, life adjustments, and relationship problems. My expertise is in using a mindfulness-based therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is a powerful treatment designed to help you get more present in your life, liberate yourself from old negative thoughts, and get into action toward creating a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

I am a graduate of Emory University (Phi Beta Kappa & Magna Cum Laude), worked as a research assistant at Harvard Medical School, and completed my PhD as a Presidential Graduate Fellow at the University of Iowa. I also have extensive experience in health psychology and frequently help clients struggling with medical issues.
Are you looking for help to uncover what is getting in your way of living a more happy, successful, and connected life? I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. You're not alone in this journey. I wholeheartedly empathize with your struggles and am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for your growth. Please reach out today!
