I received both my master’s and doctorate from the APA accredited California School of Professional Psychology, Alliant International University, in San Francisco and my BA in Literature from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
I bring over two decades of experience working within the field of psychology. My experience at the Native American Health Center’s 12-step based residential treatment center and at the globally recognized Center for Harm Reduction have informed my understanding of drug and alcohol use disorders, often referred to as addiction.
I am also a Level 3 PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) trained clinician in couples therapy. I am an active member of the PACT community and base my treatment on couples through a lens of attachment theory, biology, and psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches.
