I am a clinical psychologist serving Veterans in rural Ohio but, also those utilizing the facility from the greater Columbus and Cincinnati areas. My interests primarily lie within health psychology, assessment, and trauma, which helps to inform my case conceptualization and treatment recommendations from a bio psychosocial perspective. During my time at the VA, I have held roles in the PTSD Clinic, the Community Living Centers, and now as a member of the Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PCMHI) team. Crisis intervention and assessment are passions of mine. I find myself enthusiastically taking on challenging cases as assessment provides an additional piece of the puzzle for me to put together. Theoretical orientation is primarily Cognitive-Behavioral. I am trained in: Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Critical Incident and Stress Management Response, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, IASIS microcurrent neurofeedback, Motivational Interviewing, REACH VA for Caregiver Support, and Strength at Home for Offenders of Interpersonal Violence.
Listed skills include Psychotherapy, Adolescents, Psychological Assessment, Group Therapy, and 18 others.
