I received a masters degree, bachelors degree, and aging certificate from Florida Atlantic University. I graduated with highest honors from the college of social work.

My treatment approach is rather laid back, but is set on the foundation of having a therapeutic relationship, to include using theory's such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. It has been an honor and privilege to assist people through some of the most difficult times of their lives. I love to watch people grow and become empowered to make their own life choices and decisions.

I am licensed in Florida with 3 years of professional work experience. To give you some information on my educational and career back ground, not only do I provide therapeutic services through the BetterHelp platform, I am also an adjunct Psychology Professor, at The University of Arizona Global Campus. In addition to teaching, my main occupation is working with Veterans and military families as a Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PCMHI) Licensed Clinical Psychologist within the Department of Veterans Affairs, located in Cape Coral, Florida. Regarding my clinical background, I received my M.A. and Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Midwestern University – Downers Grove Campus in 2022, after completing my doctoral internship in Health Psychology at Richard L. Roudebush VAMC in Indianapolis, IN. In 2023, I completed my Post Doctoral Fellowship in Neuropsychology & Geropsychology at the Bruce W. Carter VA Medical Center in Miami, FL. Currently, my clinical interests combine aspects of Clinical Psychology and Health Psychology, focusing on the impacts regarding cognition that health-related behaviors such as medication adherence, smoking, as well as diet and exercise all have. In addition to working with civilian populations, I am highly motivated to explore these clinical interests specifically working with service members, veterans, and their families. Presently, I am also an active advocate for extending military cultural awareness to members of my professional and personal community, serving as a member of the American Psychological Association's Society for Military Psychology. In combining my clinical interests and advocacy for service members, I dedicated my doctoral dissertation to understanding the efficacy and effectiveness of various components of biofeedback therapy for the treatment of PTSD in both civilian and service members. I expanded upon my research with service members and dedicated my post-doctoral research to understanding the needs of veterans living with dementia, incapacitating neurodegenerative diseases, or physical illness, to improve healthcare services, quality of life, and communication with providers from multiple specialties and disciplines. Following the completion of my research, I was offered and accepted a leadership position within the Department of Veteran's Affairs as Webinar Coordinator for the Early Career Psychologist Special Interest Group (ECP SIG), and have utilized my position to build a PCMHI Memory Clinic for Veterans at the VA location where I am employed. I currently am the program director of the PCMHI Memory Clinic where I am able to provide same day memory care, including assessment and brief cognitive rehabilitation to Veterans who are suffering from cognitive decline or impairment. Lastly, I serve as the suicide prevention - primary care coordinator to connect Veterans, who call into our crisis line, with mental health services and provide them with immediate aid. As evidenced from my experiences noted above, I have experience in helping clients with a plethora of challenges including, but not limited to, somatic and health-related issues, neurocognitive disorders, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression, and women's issues. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
