Professional Experience
My professional career has been devoted to psychology. I have over 25 years’ post-licensure experience providing individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults (though I now see only adults). I’ve worked in a wide variety of clinical settings, including but not limited to outpatient clinics, college counseling centers, inpatient psychiatric units, school settings, and group private practice. I have experience conducting psychological evaluations and testing for children, adolescents, and adults. I opened my first solo private psychology practice in 2006 and have been in solo private practice ever since- first in Massachusetts, then in North Carolina, and now in Louisiana. I retain my license to practice and provide services in all three of these states via telehealth.
