LWD PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES

EXPERIENCE

As a licensed psychologist I have worked in community mental health, residential addiction and trauma treatment, higher education / university counseling, non-profit organizations, and private practice.

​

I partner with local agencies to provide services for diverse and underserved populations, reducing economic and systemic barriers might otherwise preclude access.

Therapy: Individual therapy for people experiencing a range of symptoms and concerns including intense stress, major life transitions, loss, complex trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, gender identity / women's / femme issues, relational stressors, academic problems, and executive functioning concerns. My approach is CBT-based, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have typically worked within a brief therapy framework with a focus on creating practical change that is personally meaningful to each client.

​

Assessment: My doctoral specializations include psychological assessments and reports for use in disability determination cases, psycho-educational evaluations used to assess eligibility for formal academic accommodations, tailored evaluations for individuals considering bariatric surgery, neuro-cognitive evaluations for folks in addiction recovery, and psychological evaluations for people in the context of legal immigration processes.

Supervision / Training / Education: Learning is life-long. I have participated in consultation, supervision, and training for doctoral students and colleagues as a means of challenging and supporting one another in our professional development. I have formally trained and supervised doctoral students and post-doctoral residents in specialized psychological assessment, and offer professional consultation to established clinicians expanding their assessment expertise. I taught graduate psychology courses in psychometrics, statistics, and research design.
