I grew up in Valdosta, Georgia with my three brothers and two sisters. After attending Berry College, I received my doctoral degree from Nova Southeastern University’s Clinical Psychology Program. In pursuit of postdoctoral training in a private practice setting, I took a position in Sandy Springs in 2014. Despite my small-town roots, I love living in Atlanta with my husband and two children. I opened the doors to my own practice in January of 2018, and for several years divided my time between therapy and assessment. While I currently focus on assessment, my therapy experience taught me about the importance of building rapport and contributed to my approach to assessment. I place high value on showing real interest in my clients and understanding their points of view. Establishing a relationship over the course of testing helps to ensure that my clients put forth their best effort, and the ability to take their perspective is an instrumental piece of my interpretive process. I care deeply about my work and prioritize my clients’ comfort and needs.
