Background

THIS SITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. PLEASE COME BACK AGAIN TO VISIT THE FINISHED SITE!

Hello, I am happy that you have given me the opportunity to introduce myself to you! Please take a look at the information I have here and if you think we could work together just call my office!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience. Early in my career I worked in the court system, residential care, and community mental health. I moved to Oxford and opened this office in 2004 to provide excellent psychological services in a relaxed setting. That means things like individual, family and group counseling with all ages of clients. I perform psychological or substance use assessments and reports if specifically requested. It also means that though I try to look professional you will rarely find me really dressed up!

I received my bachelors degree from Cleveland State University, my masters and doctoral degrees from Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky. I learned of Oxford when I did my internship/residency at the Miami University Counseling Service. All of my education and training settings were approved by the American Psychological Association APA. I am licensed to practice in the states of Ohio and Kentucky. I am a member of the APA and the Ohio Psychological Association. It is my intention to fully abide by all of the rules of the APA and by those of my state licenses.

I provide general psychological treatment, but also specialize in the treatment of trauma and physical or sexual abuse. I am also trained in EMDR, one of the premier treatments for trauma and anxiety. I work very well with adolescents, individuals with anxiety or depression, disordered eating, relationship issues. I use eclectic approaches in treatment, basically that means whatever is necessary. I often use Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused Techniques, but I will discuss more of that in the "Practice" section of this site!
