I have been a practicing licensed clinical psychologist since 2001. I completed my B.A. in Psychology and English from the University of Virginia and my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Kent State University. I specialize in treatment of depression, anxiety, body image/disordered eating, relationship issues, multicultural Issues, identity issues, women’s Issues, family of origin issues.

the past 15 years, I have focused on learning about and developing practices based on mindfulness and self-compassion. I have found mindfulness and self-compassion beneficial in helping people cope with negative feelings and painful experiences, which has allowed th5m to cultivate more accepting, forgiving, and wiser versions of themselves.

Learn more about my own path toward self-compassion on my personal blog, Normal in Training.

In my free time, I enjoy playing pickleball, blogging, reading, writing, knitting and crocheting, photography, and UVA football and basketball.
