Training & Experience
I'm so happy you are here! Selecting a provider who is a good fit is an important component of effective therapy. If you are interested in working together, I'd like for you to get to know my background and experience.
I obtained a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) from Northwestern University. While in my master's program, I gained clinical experience with diverse clientele. I worked with individuals, couples, and families at Northwestern's Bette D. Harris Family and Child clinic. And in downtown Chicago, I provided parent training to families of children ages 2 to 6 through the "Parents in Charge" program.
I pursued a PhD in MFT from Florida State University. I spent two years seeing clients at FSU's Center for Couple and Family Therapy and also delivered an evidence-based parenting program called the "Incredible Years." In addition, I worked at an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) focused on treating families of adolescents with substance use issues.
After graduating, I moved to San Francisco where I trained therapists as an Assistant Professor in a Couple and Family Therapy program. I ultimately decided to return to Tallahassee to start my own family and be closer to home. Now, I own a private practice, which grants me the flexibility to work with a wide range of clientele. I also serve as a faculty member at FSU in the Department of Human Development and Family Science (HDFS). I teach courses in Family Relationships, Foundations of Counseling, Parenting, and Lifespan Development.
About Me
I'm originally from New Orleans and daydream about my hometown's food, music, and festivals. Aside from work, I enjoy travel, being outdoors, practicing yoga, community engagement, and spending time with family and friends.
