Frequently Asked Questions
Does a psychologist prescribe medication?
No. A psychologist engages in talk therapy. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (M.D.) who
specializes in psychiatric medicine. While some psychiatrists engage in talk therapy as
well as prescribing medication, their required training in talk therapy is not as extensive as
a psychologist.
What is a Psy.D.?
A Psy.D. is a Doctorate of Psychology. A Ph.D. is a Doctorate of Philosophy. In clinical
psychology, Psy.D. programs emphasize applied clinical work, while Ph.D. programs
emphasize research.
I earned my Psy.D. from the American School of Professional Psychology at Argosy
University.

Can you come speak at my school/workplace/community center?
I have worked as a mental health consultant in several capacities. This has included
educating families and employers about mental illness, stress management and
anger management, as well as coaching executives in career transitions. I have
developed workshops including “Managing Work-Related Stress” and “Debunking the
Myths of Depression.”
