Welcome!
I am an American psychologist, originally from California and now living in Switzerland.
I hold a U.S. license to practice independently as a clinical psychologist.
I offer individual therapy and psychological coaching on Tuesdays and Thursdays at my private practice in downtown Lausanne. I also offer workshops for the public and trainings for mental health professionals.
As a half-time consultant for the World Health Organization in Geneva, I actively contribute to scientific knowledge by developing novel treatments and conducting scientific research on psychological interventions.
