About Me

    I am clinical psychologist, and I received Ph.D. from the University of North Texas in with a specialty in sports/performance psychology and athlete mental health. Prior to this, I earned my associate’s degree at Montgomery College, my bachelor’s degree at the University of Maryland, and my master’s degree in counseling psyscholgy at Loyola University Maryland.

    My experience includes working in several different settings, such as university counseling centers, a service academy counseling center, a community mental health clinic, a private practice, and a collegiate athletic department. I strive to help clients lead a fulfilling life that is consistent with what is most important to them. My goal is to help clients change their relationships with their unhelpful thoughts and emotions, working with them to increase their self-compassion.
