Education, Training, and Experience

Undergrad:
Wesleyan University (2005-2009)
Majors: Biology; Molecular Biology and Biochemistry; Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

Medical School:
University of Texas - Southwestern Medical School (2009-2013)

Residency:
Harvard Longwood Psychiatry Residency Training Program (2013-2017)
My residency provided a healthy balance of biological psychiatry and psychotherapy training. Psychotherapy training focused most on psychodynamic therapy and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), though I also gained experience in other psychotherapies including ISTDP, ACT, and CBT. In my 4th year, I served as Chief Resident at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center’s DBT partial hospital program, where I had the privilege of supervising psychiatry residents as well as trainees of other disciplines (social work interns and psychology practicum students and interns).

Work, inpatient:
Oregon State Hospital (2017-2022)
I worked on both the medium security/medium acuity DBT (certified!) unit and the high security DBT-aligned unit. I also spent a year supervising psychiatrists and PMHNPs in the 6-unit high security/high acuity program.

Private Practice (current):
I see patients for individual therapy, psychiatry/psychopharmacology, and some focused consultations.
