My Story
_JPG.jpg)
At Lacey Family Psychological Services, my goal is to help my patients reach their highest potential and to ensure that they receive the best possible mental health care. I have been practicing psychology since 2010 and obtained my doctorate in 2013 from Florida Institute of Technology. I obtained my license in 2016 and obtained board certification in clinical psychology in 2020. Only 4-5% of licensed psychologists are board certified, so I am proud to have achieved this distinction. I started my private practice in 2016, and I'm committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based treatments to help my patients reach their goals.
My Philosophy
In my experience, the best way to address a problem is head-on. If we avoid the things, people, and places that are stressing us out we only prolong our feelings of anxiety and depression. I believe this policy sticks whether we are dealing with avoiding cleaning a messy house, walking on eggshells with a significant other, or feeling at a loss when your child just doesn't listen. My solution-focused approach to problem solving is ideal for assisting you in many of life's challenging moments.
​
Our relationships as children and adults often define how we identify ourselves. I believe that if we can get your relationships on the right track: with significant others, family, and other important people in your life, we will see significant improvement in self-esteem and decrease in problematic symptoms.
​
I consider my approach to therapy as being solution-focused, but my training as a psychologist has come with a well-rounded understanding of different therapeutic modalities. I hope to demonstrate the type of flexibility in my practice to help you to meet your life's goals and ambitions.
