I graduated from the University of Maryland College Park with a BS in Biochemistry (Spanish minor). I then completed my PharmD (2005) and a residency in psychiatric pharmacy practice (2007) at the University of Maryland Baltimore School of Pharmacy. As a board certified psychiatric clinical pharmacist, I worked in the state hospital system for three years consulting with multidisciplinary teams on the treatment of patients with severe mental health challenges, and later worked for a few years in managed care. I earned a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Boston. I have had experience in several university counseling centers doing individual and group therapy, outreach and collaboration, and crisis management, and currently work in private practice. I have competence in LGBQ+ psychotherapy and am a trans/non-binary ally. I continue to teach, write, and speak on areas of clinical interest to me, including identity development and conflict, LGBTQ+ issues, and psychopharmacology.
