I am level two trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) through the IFS Institute and use this treatment modality heavily in my practice. I also incorporate psychodynamic, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) interventions when indicated. Many of my clients are high-achieving adults who have experienced traumatic events in their family of origin and who 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. 

​

Across my career, I have also welcomed opportunities to contribute to the learning and growth of other clinicians. For many years, I supervised predoctoral psychology interns at a local community mental health clinic. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals.
