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 adults navigating chronic illness, pain, and other complex or ongoing health conditions, along with a range of mental health concerns. Across settings, I have over a decade of experience providing individual and group psychotherapy across the lifespan, from adolescence through older adulthood.
My approach is collaborative and individualized, grounded in evidence-based practices including CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness-based strategies, and supportive psychotherapy. Rather than relying on a single model, I integrate these approaches in a flexible way that responds to each person’s goals, context, and lived experience.
