​Originally from Wisconsin, I moved to California to pursue my graduate training in Psychology.  I received my Master's degree and Doctorate (Psy.D) in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University's California School of Professional Psychology- San Diego.  During my graduate studies, I continued my interest in diversity and culture with designating a emphasis in International and Multicultural Issues.

​

I am a Clinical Psychologist, licensed in California (PSY 25643).  I have worked in many capacities in mental health including providing therapy in the following settings:

​ 

• Outpatient Clinics

• Inpatient Psychiatric

• Partial Hospitalization Programs

• Intensive Outpatient Programs

• Schools

• In the Community (Community Mental Health)

 

I am passionate about helping people work through the emotional suffering that comes with chronic illness and pain so that they can live their best lives. I am currently involved with the Autoimmune Association and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS)
