I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in human sexuality and high-pressure life transitions. Since receiving my Ph.D. from the University of Kansas in 2007 and completing my clinical residency with the Veterans Administration, I have dedicated my practice to helping clients navigate complex interpersonal and professional dynamics.

Through my PSYPACT authorization, I provide seamless, HIPAA-compliant telehealth care to clients in nearly 40 states, ensuring elite-level support is accessible wherever your career takes you.

My commitment to evidence-based care is rooted in years of diverse research. From investigating workplace success strategies for the Department of Labor to my current focus on human sexuality and relationship conflict, my work explores how we thrive in the face of challenge. I bring this research-backed perspective into every session, helping you navigate the behavioral patterns, organizational dynamics, and interpersonal systems that shape your daily life.

In my private practice, I work with individuals and couples navigating psychological complexity across professional, relational, and identity-related domains—from high-pressure career burnout and trauma to questions of sexuality, gender, and intimate relationship dynamics.

The Foundation: Insight Meets Action

​

My approach is integrative and grounded in a strong psychodynamic framework. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, we examine how early experiences and enduring relational patterns continue to shape present functioning. By clarifying the psychological “why” behind these patterns, we can shift dynamics that no longer serve your personal, relational, or professional well-being.

​

The Toolkit: Strategies for Change

​

Each course of treatment is tailored to your clinical needs and goals, drawing from a range of evidence-based interventions, including:

​

• Strategic Dialogue and Interpretation: Examining unconscious dynamics and relational “blind spots” that influence current distress and decision-making.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Targeted strategies to identify unhelpful cognitive patterns and strengthen adaptive coping.

• Self-Monitoring and Visualization: Increasing awareness of internal states and triggers while using imagery to support clarity and intentional change.

• Creative and Reflective Practices: Selective use of journaling, guided reading, and structured reflection to deepen insight and integration.

​​

Together, we establish a confidential, high-trust therapeutic space where insight is translated into meaningful, sustained change.

With over 20 years of experience, I partner with organizations—ranging from agile startups to Fortune 500 companies—to solve the "human element" of business. As a psychologist, I look beyond traditional operations to the behavioral dynamics that drive or stall an organization’s success.

​

Strategic Areas of Focus:

​

• High-Performance Culture: Enhancing productivity by addressing the psychological drivers of employee engagement and satisfaction.

​

• Behavioral Talent Acquisition: Leveraging psychological insight to refine recruitment and identify candidates who align with your long-term strategic goals.

​

• Leadership Resilience: Coaching executives and management teams to navigate high-stakes decision-making and mitigate burnout.

​

I am committed to providing data-informed, psychological insights that do more than just improve your bottom line—they build an organization capable of sustained excellence.
