I grew up in Arizona and completed my doctoral studies in Clinical Psychology at Florida State University. I love sunshine and heat! You’ll always find a space heater in my office.

I have worked in college mental health for over two decades; dividing my time between administrative work, consulting, clinical practice, training of graduate students, and clinical research. My clinical interests are in adult outpatient counseling with individuals exhibiting a wide range of difficulties including anxiety (particularly generalized anxiety and trauma), depression, and identity development challenges or conflicts. I use evidenced based interventions; particularly interpersonal and mindfulness based cognitive-behavioral models, such as Compassion Focused Therapy.

In my spare time, I chase around to my kids’ sporting events (mostly basketball games these days); I also enjoy hiking with my very spoiled English Golden Retriever, road biking, and traveling.
