Training
Overview
I have a wide range of experience working with complex clients in outpatient, inpatient, partial hospital, residential, and medical treatment programs. My training is rooted in evidence-based practice.
I have in-depth training in treating mood and anxiety disorders. Additionally, it has been important to me to frequently seek out clinical growth opportunities, so I have worked in several other specialty areas. There is significant overlap between mental health diagnoses and many people who seek therapy are experiencing more than one challenge. My breadth of clinical training provides me with the ability to bring a more expansive and comprehensive perspective to my work.
For example, most recently, I worked in a trauma specialty program at a community mental health center. There, I facilitated clients healing from traumatic experiences, often childhood abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence.
Formal Training
I completed my postdoctoral fellowship training in a combination of settings. These included the Boulder Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies, where I worked with a variety of clients experiencing mood, anxiety and other difficulties; and EDCare Denver, an Eating Disorders program. I also worked at the Sutherland Bipolar Center, a specialty clinic, for multiple years throughout graduate school and post-doctorally. There I developed experience meeting clients in the depths of weathering significant emotional storms.
I completed my APA-approved clinical internship year at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. In the Women’s Mental Health track, I gained specialized expertise in perinatal (pregnancy and postpartum) mental health, including in their one-of-a-kind perinatal inpatient psychiatric unit.
In my graduate school research, I specialized in studying Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and treatment for anxiety disorders. In particular, I focused on social anxiety. I am passionate about connecting research with clinical work, and my research experiences directly inform my evidence-based practice.
