Counseling psychology training is similar to clinical psychology in many ways, but it generally focuses more on examining how social context (such as family upbringing, school and career experiences, and cultural identities) intersect to influence the person’s experience of the world. My Ph.D. training involved clinical rotations in community mental health, college counseling, and a residential treatment facility. I worked with a broad range of presenting concerns, from mild anxiety to schizophrenia, with people from many different socio-cultural backgrounds. My psychology internship training was at the University of Iowa’s University Counseling Service (UCS). My internship training focus was psychodynamic psychotherapy, the outpatient treatment of eating disorders, group psychotherapy, and outreach. Above all, the most meaningful aspect of my training at University of Iowa was the opportunity to engage in intensive clinical supervision that both pushed my practice and significantly challenged me emotionally to examine how my personality impacts my work. After internship, I joined University of Iowa as a staff psychologist, continuing clinical work there, teaching personality and diagnostic assessment, giving presentations on psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, and supervising other clinicians’ work. In August 2019, I moved back to Dallas and provided psychotherapy with the wonderful practitioners at Dallas Therapy Collective, and in August 2020, I started this practice. My specific training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis is somewhat eclectic and did not take place in one particular setting. I have been fortunate to have supervisors skilled in psychodynamic psychotherapy throughout my training. I have also participated frequently in national conferences and pursued psychoanalytic training opportunities in addition to my formal psychology training. To this day, I am involved in additional psychodynamic training and consultation alongside my clinical practice. Outside of practicing psychotherapy, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing tennis, cooking, writing, and making art. https://dallaspsych.com/contact-location-hours daily 0.75 2026-01-13 https://dallaspsych.com/services-fees-insurance daily 0.75 2026-01-13 https://dallaspsych.com/links-readings-faqs daily 0.75 2022-06-21
