I earned my doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the University of Denver and my bachelor’s degrees from Pitzer College. I completed my clinical internship at Morrison Child and Family Services in Gresham, Oregon, and my post-doctoral fellowship at MindSights in Portland, Oregon where I conducted psychological assessments with children in the foster care system. I have experience working with children of all ages, adults, and families in a variety of settings, including community mental health clinics, shelters, schools, private practice, and child care.

I have specialized training in several evidence-based treatment models. I am a certified Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) provider, and have training in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Additionally, I am a trained provider in several parent support models including SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), The Incredible Years (parent trainer), and Bringing Baby Home. I earned my endorsement as an Infant Mental Health Specialist in 2020, which means I have specialized knowledge and expertise working with babies and young children (birth through six) and their families. I was previously licensed as a Psychologist in Oregon before moving to Seattle.
