My goal is to provide a thoughtful, collaborative space where you can better understand YOURSELF, strengthen relationships, and make practical changes that align with YOUr values.
I offer therapy for adults, adolescents, and couples, as well as psychological assessment for ages 6 and older. I conduct evaluations to address questions regarding ADHD, learning disabilities, diagnostic clarification, personality/emotional functioning, and neurocognitive screening.
Much of my work is with neurodivergent adults, individuals seeking diagnostic clarity, high-achieving adults experiencing insomnia, anxiety, or depression, and couples navigating communication difficulties or relational strain.
My approach is warm, relational, and evidence-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, CBT for Insomnia, and Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy.
I earned my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University New England and completed my doctoral internship at the Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta VA Medical Center.
My work is identity-affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I practice at Midtown Psychotherapy Associates under the direct supervision of Dr. Amy Smith-Barnes, Psy.D., and Dr. Kia Silva, Psy.D.
