Licensed Clinical Psychologist, VA License 0810009330, PSYPACT #24773
Telehealth Only
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience helping people navigate chronic pain and the toll it takes on daily life. If you're living with chronic pain, recovering from a complex medical diagnosis, or feeling stuck after trying treatment after treatment, I want you to know there's another way forward.
My approach is whole-person and evidence-based, focused on helping you rebuild a sense of function and control. My training is rooted in medical psychology — I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Duke University Medical Center and went on to lead interdisciplinary pain management programs in both military and civilian hospital settings, working side by side with physicians, physical therapists, and nurses.
