During my early professional years, I worked at Vanderbilt University in the Psychiatry Department, where I provided psychotherapy, evaluation, and consultation services for mental health, education, medical, and child welfare professionals.  During my time at Vanderbilt, I especially enjoyed serving as a mentor and supervisor for psychologists in training.  I did my own training (graduate school, internship and post-doctoral) at Vanderbilt, as well.

I began my private practice in 2011 so that I could do more of the work I most enjoy — therapy.  The relationship I have with each of my clients is unique and rewarding.  I believe It’s a special privilege to work with people as they face challenges and make important life changes.

When I’m not at the office, I can usually be found hanging out with family, friends, and my dogs. I like to be outside as much as possible and love to garden, walk and hike.  Yoga and cooking are other favorite activities.
