Riverbend Psychological Services

I’m a clinical psychologist trained in evidence-based approaches, including integrative Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and men’s issues. After over 20 years immersed in academic research, teaching, and training psychologists, I transitioned into clinical practice to work more directly and meaningfully with individuals seeking change in their lives. That shift reflects what I value most—partnering with people in real time as they build insight, skills, and momentum in their lives. Outside the therapy room, I’m passionate about the outdoors and love exploring wild spaces and connecting to nature, including a recent passion for river rafting. Being outside continually informs my appreciation for resilience and the natural rhythms of personal growth. I also love music (evidenced by an ever-growing record collection), which offers connection to the world and is a wonderful lens through which I experience and understand the human emotional journey. These passions shape the balanced, engaged presence I bring to my work, and my goal is always to help people reconnect with what matters most to them.
