About Me

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, practicing for over 25 years. I have worked with people of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults on a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, attention problems, learning concerns, Dyslexia, and Autism. A large part of my practice involves providing neuropsychological evaluations to children, adolescents and adults.

I utilize evidence based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to people reaching their treatment goals. I have a special interest in providing services to adults who want to help find a work-home-life balance. I also enjoy working with adults who want to improve their parenting and follow their life values.

I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the Oklahoma State University in 2000. I am Board Certified in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology. Additionally, I hold a Masters of Science in Education from the University of Eau Claire. I provided college instruction at Mankato University and Oklahoma State University. Also, I have provided supervision for several post-doctoral psychologists and pre-doctoral child psychology practicum students and interns.

I completed an APA accredited two-year Internship and Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, and I worked as a Psychologist in a hospital setting in St. Cloud, Minnesota for a number of years. I opened Hope Springs in 2009, and I have worked as a psychologist in Eastern Iowa for nearly 20 years.
