About Me
I am a doctoral-level licensed psychologist based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, offering telehealth services to clients in North Carolina, New York, and PSYPACT participating states (currently thirty-nine). I am dedicated to providing treatment that is supportive, scientifically grounded, and individually tailored to your unique needs.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Comparative Literature from the University of Copenhagen and a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois. My professional training includes work at Northwestern University, The University of Chicago, VA hospitals, and Yale University.
In addition to my clinical work, I have extensive experience in risk management. I conduct pre-employment and fitness-for-duty psychological assessments for local and federal law enforcement agencies and have provided psychological pre-screening services for major television production companies.
