Meet Dr. B. (she/her)

I took a road slightly less traveled on my way to becoming a psychologist, one that included roles as a researcher, consultant, and educator. These experiences conducting program evaluations, engaging in public health and diversity-related research, and teaching undergraduate and graduate level courses have given me opportunities to explore and understand ways that larger scale systems and concerns can affect individual and group wellbeing. My somewhat unconventional path also helps me appreciate what it means to be uncertain and trying to figure out how to take the next steps to get to where you want to be.​​

​

In nearly 20 years of experience in the field of psychology, I have worked in many settings, including a university, a VA Medical Center, and community-based mental health practices before founding Momentum Psychology and Performance. In each environment, my goal has been to create an open space where I can work genuinely and collaboratively with clients on understanding and addressing their concerns. My approach, in both clinical and non-clinical spaces, is integrative in nature as I help clients develop approaches to well-adjusted living and optimal performance. My identity as a queer Black woman makes it especially important to me to help create a space that is affirming for people of color, those who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and those who represent other marginalized identities.
