Biography

Bio

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and a licensed clinical psychologist. I earned my PhD in clinical psychology at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI, with a focus on community psychology. I trained in the VA Health Care System for an internship (Ann Arbor VAHCS) and postdoctoral residency (Minneapolis VAHCS) specializing in serious mental illness. Prior to joining the department I have worked in community mental health, state psychiatric hospital systems, and an urban safety net hospital. I provide psychological services (therapy and assessment) to patients with Treatment-Resistant Depression in the Interventional Psychiatry clinic at St Louis Park.

I am passionate about education and have trained psychology and psychiatry interns and residents in the foundations and advanced practice of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My research interests include healthcare and research exclusion for marginalized groups as well as delivering high-quality psychological interventions.
