Prior to earning my PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Louisville, I received my MEd in child studies with a focus in empirical research from Vanderbilt University. I have worked in a number of settings during my clinical training that have emphasized the mind-body connection, including the Pain Management Center at University of Louisville Hospital, the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center, and an outpatient eating disorders clinic within the University of Wisconsin’s Department of Psychiatry.    

I am a certified yoga teacher and practitioner of yoga, which is what sparked my interest in mindfulness-based therapies. I enjoy integrating mindfulness-based practices into therapy for clients who are interested in this as well.

In my free time I enjoy practicing yoga, playing trivia with friends, buying too many house plants, and spending time with my wife and two cats.
