I am an experienced, board-certified licensed psychologist, having earned my PhD in counseling psychology. My work history includes serving at four university counseling centers, where I provided psychotherapy to undergraduate and graduate students.  I assisted clients with interpersonal relationships, personal growth, anxiety, stress, academics, gender and sexual minority concerns, identity development, existentialism, and religion. I especially enjoy offering services to underserved populations.  

 

I received my PhD in Counseling Psychology in Counseling Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1993. I completed my predoctoral internship at Texas A&M University Student Counseling Service. My most recent employment was at Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) at the University Health Center at the University of Georgia.

 

My primary therapeutic modality is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as other acceptance and mindfulness-based approaches, emphasizing compassion, inclusion, and multicultural perspectives. My approach is informed by yogic and Buddhist perspectives. I am active in the Athens’ dance and yoga communities.
