Clinical Psychologist

WA PY60642547 CA PSY26232

I obtained my Doctor of Philosophy from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, now known as Sophia University, in Palo Alto, CA.  I completed my pre-and post-doctoral clinical training in early childhood, youth, and family services programs at various community mental health agencies throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. During my clinical training, I provided child parent psychotherapy to infants, toddlers, and caregivers; individual therapy to school aged children, teens, and adults; and family therapy to parents, caregivers, and their children. Most recently, I have worked as a behavioral health clinician in a primary care clinic and a pediatric clinic. I have over 20 years as a mental health professional; including, private practice and working as a mental health counselor, a residential counselor, and a para-professional. Additionally, I am currently licensed to practice in both Washington State and California. Please view my LinkedIn profile for more details about my behavioral health experience. 

A strong belief in prevention and early intervention of adverse childhood experiences inspires my work with children, parents, and families. Adverse childhood experiences can have lasting impact and influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the present. A strong component of my clinical practice is finding and building resiliency in the presence of adverse childhood experiences. I use an integrative clinical approach that is trauma focused, strength based, family centered, and LGBTQ+ affirmative to support and assist clients in meeting desired goals. My clinical approach incorporates evidence based treatment practices dependent on client age and concerns. Please check out the What to Expect page for more details about therapy with specific age groups.

In my spare time, I enjoy watching baseball and soccer, practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, running, hiking with my family and German Pointer, watching movies, reading, and listening to EDM.
