While residing in Utah, I completed numerous psychological and psychosexual evaluations for the Fourth District Juvenile Court. After graduation, I relocated to New Mexico and completed a one-year postdoctoral fellowship at The Samaritan Counseling Center prior to enjoying an active private practice specializing in the treatment of eating disorders. I also served as the Clinical Director of Adolescent Programs at The Eating Disorders Institute of New Mexico. As lead adolescent psychologist, I conducted therapy groups and offered meal support as part of the intensive outpatient treatment program at The Institute. Additionally, I contributed to the development of the program curriculum. As one of the few psychologists in the state specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, I spoke publicly to academic, medical, and mental health groups. I’ve presented and published research in eating disorders and has earned the Outstanding Early Career Psychologist Award given by the National Register of Health Service Psychologists. I am a member of the American Psychological Association (APA), the Academy of Eating Disorders (AED), and the Southwest Eating Disorder Education Collaborative (SWEDEC).  I am also a certified eating disorder specialist (CEDS) as recognized by The International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP) and am a size inclusive provider. I spend my time outside of work primarily with my teenage daughters often on the softball field, volleyball court, or dance stage. I also love to read, play the piano, be outdoors, and hang with my dogs.
