I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a specialty in health psychology. After earning my Ph.D. in psychology from the University of North Dakota, I completed a clinical internship at the Veterans’ Affairs Medical Center in Minneapolis, MN and a postdoctoral fellowship in Health Psychology at Cleveland Clinic. I am certified by the state of Indiana as a Health Service Provider in psychology (HSPP).
I have worked with a wide variety of clients in a variety of clinical settings, and have been honing my skills to help you reach your goals for over 20 years. In addition to direct clinical work, I have supervised many students and other therapists and have taught advanced graduate students at Indiana University how to do assessment and therapy for anxiety disorders. As well as publishing articles in a professional journal on headaches, I have presented at national and international conferences and to general audiences on many topics including panic, anxiety disorders, health psychology, pain management, health behavior change, integrated care, and more.
I am a member of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT), the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS), and the American Psychological Association (APA) and adhere to the APA Code of Ethics. Additionally, in 2013 Real Balance Global Wellness Services certified me as a Health and Wellness Coach, and I gained 7 years of experience doing health coaching in a program for people with chronic medical problems.
