I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in Missouri (#2023036413) and hold an interjurisdictional telehealth license (PsyPact #16948), which allows me to practice in most states (see map).
I earned my undergraduate degrees from Truman State University and my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley. I completed my APA-accredited predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington, with specialized training in rehabilitation medicine. Most recently, I served as a Clinical Assistant Professor in Washington University in St. Louis’s Pain Management Center, where I worked with individuals living with chronic pain and complex medical conditions. I continue to provide clinical supervision and training to clinical psychology PhD students within the Washington University system.
My clinical work focuses on helping people with chronic illness, pain, disability, and complex medical conditions, as well as people navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. For over a decade, I have worked with adolescents thrugh older adults in individual and group-based therapy. I am trained in evidence-based practices including CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness-based strategies, and supportive psychotherapy. I integrate these approaches flexibly to address each person’s goals, context, and lived experience.
