What do I do at the Counseling Center?

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist & the Associate Director for Clinical Services.

What's it like to work with me?

In my personal and professional life, I emphasize quality relationships, compassion, growth, humor, and being oneself.  In sessions, I encourage clients to explore their relationships with themselves (identities, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors), with other people, situations, and experiences, identifying patterns of connecting and coping. This sets the stage for us to collaboratively work on clients’ goals in an environment that practices self-compassion, challenging, and resilience.

What do I do at JMU outside of the Counseling Center?

I collaborate with other Student Affairs colleagues, particularly those in the areas of Health & Well-Being.
