Introduction

I received a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Iowa in 2009 and completed pre and post-doctoral training at the VA. My primary training has been in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), a type of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I appreciate people's personal stories, making deep, meaningful connections with others, and working with clients to live more meaningful lives. I am originally from the Bay Area and have background/experience in parenting, real estate, songwriting, research, and theology.
