Hi there, I'm Ruth!
I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH: a city that taught the magic of Autumn to my Caribbean soul. I specialize in Health Across the Lifespan and have used it in a variety of settings, including university counseling settings, nursing homes, ALFs, hospitals, primary care, and outpatient clinics.
My focus
I am trained in health psychology and geriatric population, particularly in psycho-oncology. However, I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, in both short-term and long-term care. Some conditions include (but are not limited to) anxiety, depression, grief, panic attacks, life transitions, substance use, and relationship concerns.
My approach
I believe you are the expert in yourself, and my role is to bring forth that insight through evidence-based practices that best fit you. I integrate various modalities, often drawing from CBT, DBT, and ACT. I believe that we can't fit people into neatly labeled molds, so I emphasize individualized person-centered care as the common thread.
