About

An Ann Arbor native, I graduated with honors from the University of Michigan with a major in psychology and a minor in women’s health. I then received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Wayne State University and completed my pre-doctoral clinical internship at the University of Michigan Mary A. Rackham Institute.

 

I have obtained an Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) from the PSYPACT Commission, which means I can provide teletherapy services in Michigan (where I am fully licensed) as well as 41 additional states. This can be especially helpful to avoid disruptions in care for high school students who are planning to go to college in a different state, college students who travel between states, and others who travel out of state and would like to continue to receive therapy services. Here is a link to see the states that have enacted PSYCPACT and where I can provide teletherapy services: https://psypact.site-ym.com/page/psypactmap
