Psychologist, Ph.D
Last Updated 30+ days ago

Within a framework of evidence-based practice, in a warm collaborative manner, appreciative of identity, culture, context, development, and clinical concerns, I offer contemporary Cognitive Behavior Therapy to pre-teens, adolescents, and adults that is solution and strength-oriented to address challenges including mood, anxiety, health, relationships, work-life balance, as well as educational and professional achievement. Additionally, I provide consultation and comprehensive psychological assessment to identify learning, attentional, and/or emotional challenges. With a strong commitment to affordable and accessible services, I accept some health insurance plans. Half of my practice is supervising graduate and post-graduate trainees at the low-cost Georgia State University Psychology Clinic and Emory University School of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Outpatient Training Program where I have been honored to receive the Emory Outstanding Psychotherapy Supervisor Award and the Distinguished Adjunct Faculty Member Award.
