Education & Experience

I graduated from Wesleyan University with a BA in English. Realizing that my interest in literature stemmed from curiosity and passion about individual's stories, I spent the next two years gaining knowledge and experience in clinical psychology before beginning a Ph.D. program at the University of Vermont. 

As a graduate student, I completed clinical work with people of all ages and various mental health concerns including ADHD in children and adults, anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders in childhood, and PTSD. My research focused on preventing and treating anxiety and depression in children and refugee populations. 

I completed my internship at the Medical University of South Carolina and the Ralph H. Johnson VA in Charleston, South Carolina. There, I enhanced my skills working with trauma-survivors at the VA and National Crimes Victims Center.

In the years since completing my internship, I have conducted psychological evaluations and provided treatment for children, teens, and adults in the Atlanta area. During that time, I have built upon my skills treating trauma-related conditions and implementing cognitive-behavioral treatments for children and adults with functional somatic symptoms and chronic medical conditions. I have worked in medical settings since 2017, gaining a lot of experience working with caregivers and patients around the impact of complex medical conditions. I also developed expertise working with issues related to emerging sexual and gender identities and providing informed and compassionate care to LGBTQ+ families and parents of LGBTQ+ youth.

Currently, I maintain my private practice and am Clinic Lead for the Functional Neurological Disorders Clinic at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. I am ABPP Board Certified in the area of Child & Adolescent Psychology and have extensive experience working with individuals across the lifespan.

Hobbies & Interests

I enjoy spending time outside with my partner and my two sons, running just about anywhere (but especially in the mountains), doing yoga, playing with my dog, reading, and drinking coffee in a quiet spot.
