I received my undergraduate degree at the University of South Florida and my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Rhode Island. I completed an APA-accredited Clinical Psychology internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the Boston VA Healthcare System with an emphasis in treating PTSD. I’ve received specialty training in trauma focused therapies including Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  

Following fellowship, I worked at the Rhode Island Hospital Partial Hospital Program and was a clinical assistant professor at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. From 2017-2020, I worked in both the trauma and DBT specialty tracks and helped hundreds of people on their healing journey. In 2020, I returned to my home state of Florida to work at the Department of Veterans Affairs where I’ve been passionate about serving Veterans in the PTSD clinic.

I’ve spent years co-authoring scientific publications and providing clinical supervision to psychology graduate students, interns, and fellows. I also specialize in training psychology students in evidence-based treatment of trauma, anxiety and mood concerns.

I’m dedicated to creating a warm and non-judgmental environment and providing science-backed tools and techniques for healing. My expertise is in treating PTSD/trauma and difficulties with emotion regulation.
