ACT/CBS Background and Training: I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist currently providing individual and group psychotherapy, including ACT interventions, in the mental health outpatient clinic of a Veterans Health Administration Community Based Outpatient Clinic. I studied ACT under Dr. Chad Drake at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, Carbondale, IL, including my dissertation that examined the hexaflex in the context of posttraumatic growth and PTSD symptoms. I gained more advanced training delivering ACT at the New Orleans VA in both individual and group settings during my predoctoral internship and postdoctoral residency. I continued integrating ACT into my interventions working with the outpatient Veteran populations. I completed the VA ACT training with Dr. Amber Guzman in February, 2023. I am also currently providing supervision and consultation of ACT for fellow staff including psychologists and social workers, and for psychology practicum students, interns, and residents.
ACT/CBS Experience: I have been using ACT since 2015
Additional Information: I present didactic training in ACT to psychology and psychiatry trainees on a regular basis, as well as provide supervision to psychology predoctoral interns and postdoctoral residents.
