My Background and Approach
I received my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Baylor University and completed advanced fellowship training at Duke Academic Medical Center, specializing in trauma and women’s health. I love providing education to the public and have been featured in dozens of publications including Vogue, Newsweek, MindBodyGreen, Bustle, and Elle. I am a trauma-informed therapist, which means that it will be helpful to understand any adverse and traumatic in your life history and life context in order to make sense of current symptoms. This also means that I highly value you having a sense of control and choice about your therapy and our therapeutic relationship. I integrate somatic (body-based) modalities (i.e., Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, trauma-informed yoga), mindfulness-based approaches (i.e., Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion), and Brene Brown’s Shame Resilience Theory.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally-sensitive, and committed to learning and growing.
