Overview

Licensed since 2009 in Washington State, I hold a BA in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a PsyD from Nova Southeastern University, specializing in Health Psychology. My practice offers individual therapy to adults, adept in treating mood disorders and aiding those with chronic medical conditions. My diverse background and athletic scholarship have shaped my approach, emphasizing respect, dignity, cultural compentency, and evidence-based methods like CBT and Mindfulness.
