Here’s a little bit about me

I am certified as a Health Service Psychologist and Integrative Medicine Provider and in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).

I am also the Mental Health Adviser for Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH), a non-profit with the mission of raising awareness of illicit acts of forced organ harvesting in China.

I have lectured on mind-body interactions and healing, trauma and addiction, and have spoken extensively on the trauma associated with illegal detention and torture while in custody in China.

I am a PA licensed clinical psychologist in private practice and certified to see clients virtually in multiple U.S. states. I work with children, adults and couples, providing a safe environment of warmth and unconditional positive regard, so that each person can have the space to discover who he or she is and what steps are needed to better manage conflicts.

I work with those suffering from low self-esteem, trauma, relational and transition issues, grief and loss, chronic pain and addiction.

I completed my doctoral education at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 2001 and a post-doctoral residency in psychology at Thomas Jefferson University, Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior from 2001-2002. I have taught and currently supervise residents for the department.
