I received my Ph.D. from the Joint Doctoral Program at San Diego State University and the University of California, San Diego. I completed my clinical internship at Michigan State University and my postdoctoral fellowship at Wayne State University/Detroit Children’s Hospital.

After moving to the Portland area, I worked at Oregon Health Sciences University and The Morrison Center before establishing my private practice in 2000.

Aside from clinical psychology, I enjoy sports, games, nature, and movies.
