About

Granted with honors by Capella University, I hold a Master of Science degree in Clinical Psychology. I was a Regional Patient Behavioral Consultant working with a variety of modalities to treat mental illness including neurofeedback therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy. I then started working at a hospital system treating eating disorders, mood disorders, thinking disorders, and personality disorders. I have intensive training in crisis prevention, specializing in de-escalation and behavior management, utilizing appropriate coping skills, and making a plan for ongoing treatment. I treat with a clinical intervention to identify triggers that may have led to self-harm behaviors or suicidal attempt.

​

I continued my clinical work at a private practice. I became trained in evidenced-based expression therapy including play therapy, art therapy, and sandplay therapy to use both verbal and nonverbal therapeutic interventions to explore a person’s inner thoughts, struggles, and concerns.
