director, Licensed Psychologist

** Accepting new private pay clients in June and BCBS pending for August 2023**

My focus is on helping therapists and professionals with therapy, burnout, and practice-building. I offer business consultation and analysis of financial goals, with a special interest in financial trauma. I love to help helpers maintain longevity in their careers, heal from stress, and find work-life balance. Ideal clients are motivated for therapy, enjoy reading and doing homework, and prefer short-term 1-15 sessions. Therapy together can also focus on business goals, financial trauma, and consultation for severe mental illness and suicide prevention. If interested, Prolonged Exposure trauma therapy and parent coaching for therapists and professionals is also an option.  

I am trained in using therapy that has been highly researched, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure for trauma therapy. I was a former professor and researcher prior to creating my private practice and I love working with new therapists and people searching for purpose and their life. I am a firm believer in "You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream." -C.S. Lewis

I am a graduate of the University of Miami and completed my doctorate at Louisiana Tech University. I have lived in Miami, Louisiana, New Jersey, Central Florida, Brooklyn, and I am proud to call Asheville my home. I often spend time with my family, and enjoy reading new books, cooking, and trying to balance it all. I am an advocate for suicide prevention, grief and loss, mom-work-life balance, and underprivileged communities especially LGBTQIAA and BIPOC individuals.
