About Me
My path to this work, the values that guide me, and what you can expect when we work together.
MY TRAINING
A path shaped by curiosity,
clinical training, and
a commitment to growth.
I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of
Tennessee, where my training included psychotherapy, psychological
assessment, and research.

Since then, I have completed advanced clinical training through
Cambridge Health Alliance / Harvard Medical School and have
continued specialized work in both psychotherapy and
neuropsychological assessment.

My clinical experience has included work with children, adolescents,
adults across hospitals, community mental health settings,
university clinics, and private practice.

Curiosity is not a technique.
It is a way of being with another person.
While symptoms matter, they are rarely the
whole story. Whether someone comes
seeking therapy or an evaluation, I am
interested in understanding the broader
context of their experience: their
personality, relationships, emotional life,
strengths, struggles, and the patterns that
shape how they move through the world.

My work is informed by psychoanalytic and
psychodynamic traditions, which emphasize
curiosity, reflection, and the belief that meaningful change
often occurs through understanding, rather than symptom
management alone.
