Bask Psychological Services

My journey into the field of psychology began with a fascination for sociology, leading me to pursue a degree at Bowling Green State University. However, as I delved deeper into human behavior and the intricacies of the mind, I realized that psychology offered a more profound understanding of the complexities that shape our lives. That's when I transitioned my focus to Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. My academic curiosity led me to pursue graduate studies at the University of Cincinnati, culminating in both a Master of Arts and a Doctorate of Philosophy in Psychology with a Clinical Emphasis. My doctoral studies were deeply influenced by the importance of working with diverse populations and addressing multicultural issues in clinical practice.

My commitment to providing compassionate and effective care led me to complete my clinical internship at the prestigious William S. Hall Psychiatric Institute, also known as "Bull Street, " in Columbia, South Carolina. This experience exposed me to a wide range of clinical presentations, including severe mental illness, PTSD, cases involving abuse and neglect, and forensic populations. Over the years, I have honed my skills in a variety of clinical settings, encompassing college counseling centers, inpatient psychiatric facilities for both children and adults, juvenile justice facilities, and assessment centers. This diverse experience has enriched my understanding of human behavior and equipped me to address the unique needs of each individual I encounter.

While I find fulfillment in working with a broad spectrum of patients, I hold particular expertise and passion for forensic psychology, multicultural issues, neurocognitive and behavioral challenges, differential diagnosis, and severe mental illness. I am dedicated to providing comprehensive psychological evaluations for adults and children, utilizing my knowledge and skills to empower my clients on their journey toward well-being.
