Biography

Bio

I received my BS in child psychology from the University of Minnesota. I completed an MA in psychology from Antioch University in Seattle, WA; and then a second MA and a PsyD in clinical psychology from the Minnesota Professional School of Psychology at Argosy University in Eagan.

I am a child and adolescent psychologist with a focus on psychosis risk identification and early intervention. I am particularly interested in psychosocial interventions, including psychotherapy and cognitive training. 

Within the University, I train and supervise psychology graduate students and postdoctoral associates. I also provide didactics and therapy supervision to psychiatry residents and child and adolescent psychiatry fellows. I teach graduate-level courses on psychopathology and developmental psychopathology.

In the department, I am the assistant Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship Director and the Psychotherapy Director for the Child/Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship. 

Most recently, I received the 2020 Minnesota Psychological Association's Outstanding Graduate Faculty in Psychology Award.
