About
Biography
Growing up in a rural area, I witnessed how difficult it can be for people to access quality, evidence-based care. I am proud to do my part in closing this care gap by offering specialized psychotherapy services. I’m also honored to help educate the next generation of psychologists in my role as a clinical assistant professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
When I am not providing direct patient care, I spend time as a clinical supervisor for the Psychology Predoctoral Internship's OCD and anxiety disorders rotation. In addition, I am on the leadership team for the Pride Employee Resource Group.
I’m also involved with professional organizations aimed at improving psychological care. I am a member of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies and the American Psychological Association.
