Hello and welcome! I am an Indianapolis-based clinical psychologist, licensed to

practice in Indiana and New York. I have worked in the mental health field since

2008, in a variety of settings: psychiatric inpatient, community mental health,

corrections, and private practice. I bring a well-rounded expertise to assessing and

treating adults with most mental health conditions. 

​

My therapy style is genuine, open-minded, and curious. I am passionate about

creating a warm, welcome, and accepting therapeutic space for all clients. My

therapy office (whether virtual or physical) is a space where all parts of you are

welcome and respected. As your therapist, I am here through fear, darkness,

messiness, and successes. We work as a team to identify treatment goals and help

you live a life that honors your values.

 

I am level one trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) through IFS-I and use this treatment modality heavily in my practice. I also incorporate psychodynamic, mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions when indicated. Many of my clients struggle with mood issues, relationship concerns, and identity confusion. However, I have extensive experience working with individuals with severe and persistent mental illness (e.g., psychosis), borderline personality disorder, and high-risk behaviors.

​

I also have advanced training in forensic evaluations for criminally-involved individuals, and approximately 50% of my practice is devoted to forensic work across Indiana. Prior to moving back to Indiana, I was certified to conduct competency and criminal responsibility evaluations in the Commonwealth of Virginia after completing extensive training at the UVa Institute of Law, Psychiatry, and Public Policy. I also specialized in forensics during my internship at Bellevue Hospital Center in New York. Further detail about my evaluation and testimony experience can be found on my CV below.

​

Across my career, I have also welcomed opportunities to contribute to the learning and growth of other clinicians. I currently supervise predoctoral psychology interns at a local community mental health clinic and have experience leading staff trainings on topics such as DBT. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals.
