BEING A PSYCHOTHERAPIST IS MY LIFE'S CALLING; NOT MY FIRST CAREER.



​Throughout life, I've studied how humans 'work' so I can help ease human suffering. 

Prior to this work, I earned a PhD in Human and Medical Genetics
and worked for over a decade as a US Public Health Scientist at
​the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.   

​I privilege working with modalities developed through science and based on understanding how our minds, language and behavior work.
