About Me
I was born and raised in a small, rural town in Kentucky. I then headed to southern Indiana where I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Southern Indiana. After completing an undergraduate internship under the supervision of a pediatric psychologist, I knew I wanted to work in the mental health field with children in some capacity. I discovered the field of school psychology, which led me to where I am today. I recently completed my doctoral internship at a therapeutic high school, serving students receiving special education services primarily for emotional disorders. I am currently completing my post-doctoral fellowship here at LivingRite, and am excited to serve a diverse range of clients!
Areas of Specialty
As a trained school psychologist, I specialize in working with children and adolescents. I have experience working in the school and private practice setting with youth experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavior problems, autism, emotion regulation difficulties, specific learning disabilities, and more. I also have experience applying intensive exposure therapy for children with selective mutism. With my experience in the education setting, I recognize the importance of connecting outside mental health support with a child’s schooling in order to allow the child to best access their education. I hope to work collaboratively with clients and their families in reaching their treatment goals. In addition to therapy, I am also trained in conducting psychological assessments for a range of presenting problems (ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Specific Learning Disorder, Intellectual Disability, etc.).
