There are masters degree therapists (LMHC, LMSW, LMFT) but few actual DOCTORS of psychology. I graduated magna cum laude from Rollins College with degrees in Philosophy and Psychology. I have a Master's Degree & a Doctorate Degree in Psychology. I have been invited to speak at Harvard Faculty Club multiple times. I am also a trauma certified. I think it is important to understand the different qualifications, so you can make an informed choice regarding your treatment and all available options. I take my job very seriously, and I wanted to make sure I had the highest qualifications to ensure the safety and wellbeing of my clients. I have worked in multiple settings and in a locked Baker Act receiving facility. Please call for a free consult to assess your situation.

I thank you for visiting my listing. I appreciate that there are so many helpers to choose from. Why choose me? Simply put, I am a very highly trained professional within this subspeciality of healthcare. I combine many years of both study and practice with a kind, attentive, and supportive bedside manner, or interactional style. I have a doctoral degree called a Psy.D, which specializes in the actual theory and practice of psychotherapy. I am licensed to practice in several states; I offer a wide range of available appointment days/times, throughout multiple time zones. If you are somewhat unsure of where, or how, to start, I can help you navigate the therapeutic world. Long story short, my intention is to provide each and every person with a high level of professional care.

People frequently asked me what is the difference between a psychologist, and a master's-level therapist (such as a licensed clinical social worker, licensed marriage and family counselor, or licensed mental health counselor). Simply, I have completed a 4 year PhD degree at the graduate level (VS a 2 year Masters Degree), and because of the additional training I have the ability to do psychological testing and evaluations, which a Master's-level clinician does not. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any other questions about my training or qualifications.
