I am a licensed psychologist for the state of Tennessee with a Health Service Provider designation. I attended the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and graduated cum laude with a B.S. in Psychology. Both my Master’s and Doctorate of Philosophy degrees came from Tennessee State University. During this time, I received clinical training and supervision from Centerstone Community Mental Health Center, Vanderbilt University Counseling Center, and an Internship at the University of Cincinnati Psychological Services Center where I solidified my focus on multicultural practices and interventions. My postdoctoral training was completed at Vanderbilt University Community Mental Health Center.
In addition to my private practice work, I currently work for the Department of Children Services and oversee treatment services for the Juvenile Justice facilities within Middle Tennessee. I am responsible for implementing evidenced based programming and facilitating gender-specific/gender-responsive programs for the department. I also teach for Argosy University as an adjunct professor. This experience assists me in staying current with evidence based treatment modalities and interventions. I also enjoy being able to train future clinicians in the field of psychology. Overall, I enjoy working with people and making a difference in the lives of others!
I am a proud member of the American Psychological Association and the Nashville Psychotherapy Institute.
