Updated 3 days ago

I am a clinical psychologist and fellow Duke graduate offering therapy to the Duke community.

I provide therapy for children, adolescents, and young adults. I frequently support individuals with anxiety, depression, adjustment, and behavioral challenges. I have specialized training in caring for individuals with acute and chronic medical conditions. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Duke University. I completed my clinical internship in pediatric psychology at the University of Florida Health Science Center and my postdoctoral fellowship at Children’s National Hospital in the Divisions of Hematology, Oncology, and Blood and Marrow Transplant. Grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I tailor evidence-based treatments to ensure our work together is individualized to your unique goals and values, providing a compassionate, patient-centered, and developmentally-informed approach. Above all, I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential, and strive to be warm, genuine, and creative. I look forward to partnering alongside you to promote meaningful change and make progress on what matters to you most.
