I am a clinician with over a decade of experience in academic & mental health care settings. I am interested and passionate about integrating psychological testing into psychotherapy (Collaborative/Therapeutic Assessment) and brief psychodynamic therapy. I have worked frequently in community mental health and severe and persistent mental illness, and have experience conducting quantitative research and teaching. My education includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Kent State University, a Master of Arts in Psychology at Western Carolina University, and I am currently nearing completion of a PhD in clinical psychology, with a focus on assessment, including collaborative/therapeutic assessment, which is my passion.
