Biography

I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Louisiana State University with a specialization in intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) and completed my clinical internship at UCLA’s Semel Institute of Neuroscience & Human Behavior in 2009. I currently work as a Community Psychology Clinician at the Greater New Orleans Resource Center on Developmental Disabilities and work with child and adult populations. I provide in-home psychological and behavioral assessment and treatment for individuals in the community, as well as service capacity building to professionals and support staff, provide health/medical education, conduct staff and parent training, individual skills training, behavioral psychopharmacology, and render consultation/liaison services to two parishes.
