How did you become interested in the field of Psychology?
I was always interested in science, so I thought I would become a research scientist. I also had a fascination with human behavior, but never had considered combining those two interests. About halfway through college, a mentor helped me realize that clinical psychology was the perfect fit for me.
Briefly describe your area of specialty:
I specialize in CBT, acceptance-based treatment, and exposure therapy. I treat adults and kids 10 and upstruggling withdisorders such as OCD, anxiety, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and tics.I also provide counseling for clients struggling with infertility.
Based on your specialty, what is one piece of advice for our readers?
Don�t believe everything you think. Our minds are just trying to protect us, but sometimes they go overboard.
Can you provide a recommendation for how our readers can begin to implement your piece of advice?
Try to change your relationship with your thoughts and feelings. Notice how often you have a thought and don�t act on it because you know it�s not the best choice. You can treat your fears the same way.
Tell us something fun about you: If you weren’t a psychologist, what would you be?
I wouldn't be very qualified, but I�d love working as a scientist at NASA!
