Caring, understanding, and ready to help you make the changes you desire in your life. Those are just some of my personality traits that make me a unique psychologist. As for my credentials, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in 2000 from Barry University (Miami Shores, FL). In 2005 I received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Nova Southeastern University (Ft. Lauderdale, FL). I then completed a two-year residency at Nebraska Mental Health Center in Lincoln, NE, under the supervision of Dr. Matthew Nessetti. After completing my residency, I worked for ten years at Citrus Health Network, while also working in the area of disability and diagnostic testing at What's On Your Mind. My primary areas of clinical interest and experience include early childhood development assessments as well as family therapy.
