With a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University, a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from the Alfred Adler Institute of Minnesota, and 2 additional degrees in mathematics from the University of Michigan, I bring a broad knowledge base, experience in government, small and large corporations, and understanding of a wide variety of people to my client consultations. Prior to becoming a psychologist, I worked as a software engineer and engineering manager in the defense electronics industry. I decided to become a psychologist because I wanted a career that embraced my values of helping people to achieve their goals. I have worked as a licensed psychologist since 1995 in Minnesota; my husband and I relocated to South Carolina in August, 2006, and I began my private practice in Bluffton, SC in September, 2006.
I view myself as a caring clinician who offers warmth, compassion, and understanding. I partner with you to work toward goals that we establish to help you achieve what you want from life, be it more fulfilling relationships, a more rewarding job, inner peace, or self-acceptance. Together, we choose one or more methods that are appropriate for the types of issues with which we are working.
