26 year private practice specializing in psychotherapy grounded in theory and research on treatment, relationships, child development, and disorders. I'm committed to those I work with and open to all walks of life. I listen closely with curiosity to help you identify deep emotional blind spots to help you make sense of the troubles you are having. Discovering these deeper roots of your problems and symptoms will not only give you a different perspective of the obstacles and trauma in your life, it will reduce emotional pain, and help you feel more control in your life.
I work with the full range of problems: anxiety, depression, compulsions, addictions, relationships, confidence, motivation, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, ADHD, trouble coping with stress, loss, and trauma, etc. I also specialize in evaluations for diagnosis, court, fitness-for-duty as well as clinical consultation/supervision.
Licensed clinical psychologist since 1999, received my doctorate from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 1997 and completed a clinical psychology internship at Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts Mental Health Center in 1997. Former part-time Assistant Professor at UT, Knoxville. Member of several local and national professional organizations.
