About the Therapist

I enjoy engaging, open, lively, conversations with clients of all types as together we uncover a path forward and empower you with strategies for lasting change. 

With 30 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, I bring much appreciation for each person’s unique life history and goals. I am committed to comprehensive mental health care across diverse individuals at every stage of life from adolescence to late adulthood as clients try to improve their lives.

My Training & Experience

As a Licensed Psychologist, I received a PhD in psychology from Auburn University in 1995. I was first licensed as psychologist in Georgia and worked in the Atlanta area. There I worked at two universities, a mental health clinic, and a private practice. I have been licensed as a psychologist in Tennessee since 1998 and have worked in a universities and private practice for 30 years. I am committed to life-long learning and seeking out opportunities to build and enrich ourselves. As such I seek out continued professional education to supplement my professional work.
