She provides Prolonged Exposure (PE) trauma therapy, which she learned while working with veterans and currently offers via telemedicine.

Her approach is to develop a therapy model that fits the patient's treatment goals, where she is able to use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She received her doctoral degree from Louisiana Tech University, masters and undergraduate degrees from the University of Miami, and graduated from an APA-accredited program and completed an APA-accredited internship. She was an adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Pace University in New York City.
