Hello! I have been a licensed psychologist for over 15 years. I received my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and French at Hope College (1996) in Holland, Michigan. I went on to attend the University of Texas at Austin, where I received my Masters degree (2000) and Ph.D. (2003) in Educational Psychology. I then became a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology (2004) and a Licensed Psychologist (2006) in Texas. While in Texas, I worked in a variety of settings including public schools and private clinic settings, spending most of my professional time doing evaluations for children and adolescents with a variety of learning and behavioral disorders. In 2018, I moved to Georgia with my family and became a Licensed Psychologist here in 2020. I have also been certified as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist since 2004, and I am currently a member of the Georgia Psychological Association and the Athens Area Psychological Association.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my three kiddos and rescued pup, being a spectator at high school and recreational sporting events as well as band and children’s theater performances, among other things! We also enjoy visiting the North Georgia mountains, watching movies, road tripping to Texas, spending time with extended family, and participating in church activities. When I have a minute to myself, I love to sit outside and read, walk our dog, or go for a (slow) run. I also serve as a Court Appointed Special Advocate in the Athens/Oconee area.

I hope to have the opportunity to connect with you!
