Alongside formal education and training, I have over a decade of experience providing mental health services. After undergrad, I worked in wilderness therapy serving teens with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and behavioral issues. I’ve worked in academic settings with college students who have intellectual disabilities, and in acute inpatient and outpatient hospital settings. I also served as the lead therapist for multiple NIH, DOD, and PCORI-funded clinical trials of various therapies for chronic pain and opioid addiction. My training in neuroscience complements these clinical experiences; neuroscience allows me to ask “how does this work?” in a different way, and in my work with clients I aim to balance the unique perspectives afforded by my joint training as a psychotherapist and neuroscientist.
