Education & Training

First and foremost, I am a doctor of psychology and a lifelong student of the art of psychology and its role across diverse disciplines and industries. ​I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Miami University of Ohio and completed my Masters and Doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, Illinois, acquiring a concentration in psychoanalytic theory.

 

​I enjoyed a dynamic training experience working in therapeutic day schools, forensic settings, hospitals, and outpatient centers. In these environments, I practiced psychodynamic, trauma-focused, relational, systemic, and cognitive behavioral approaches in my work with individuals of all ages, suffering from a multitude of sufferings. 

 

Experience & Passions

I have owned and managed my private practice in Park City since 2013 as a Clinical Psychologist and Consultant and enjoy working with people representing a wide spectrum of cultural backgrounds and demographics who share a common ground; the desire to uncover, understand, and release the barriers that come between them and their passions and success.

 

​I have altered my professional role by serving in an alternative practice that provides me the opportunity to reach people "beyond the couch".  This has allowed me to quite literally "meet people where they are". I can conduct sessions outdoors while hiking, skiing, walking, or sitting in a sunbeam. I am also open to meeting in alternate locations like your home, office, or a local coffee shop. By going up against the "status quo" of traditional practice, I've created a practice that is better informed, more sustainable in today's culture, and comprehensive. 

 

​​I have recently added business and executive leadership coaching and consultation to my repertoire out of a passion for working with leaders and those who enjoy influencing, motivating, and mentoring others. My positive energy multiplies when I help leaders thrive and gain freedom by achieving success in work that they too, are passionate about.  

​

For Fun & Adventure: 

In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with close friends and family, seeking out opportunities for adventure and education. My hobbies include yoga, snowboarding, skiing, hiking, biking, reading, cultivating plants, dining, and making those around me laugh. I am a big fan of Michigan sports (GO BLUE!) and watch or attend games when I can. 

 

One of my best buds (and shadow) is my service dog, named Root - an equally curious about people and the world, active, and sometimes ornery Weimaraner named "Root".
