I am an Oregon licensed psychologist. I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology, at Argosy University, Oakland California. I completed internships at San Jose State University; Marin Community Mental Health, Point Reyes, California; and the Behavioral Health Center for Native Americans in Calpella California. Prior to earning my doctorate I was a school psychologist in California. I earned my school psychology credential from San Diego State University. I have a Master’s degree in Counseling from Boston University and a Bachelors of Arts Degree, with a teaching emphasis from the University of Michigan. I have extensive multicultural, ethnic experience and training.

Therapy is a positive way to learn about ourselves in a safe environment. There is the opportunity to learn how to let go of negative, self-limiting thinking and beliefs that create anxiety, depression and skew our perception of ourselves and others. It’s an opportunity to learn healthier coping strategies and improved communication of our feelings and needs.

Having this knowledge is a key element to individual, community and global sanity. Normalizing psychological understanding is a goal for all of us.
