Training & Background
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (California License # 31814). I completed my bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley (GO BEARS!). I received my master’s degree in Forensic Psychology from the City University of New York (CUNY) John Jay College of Criminal Justice and my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the PGSP-Stanford University Psy.D. Consortium.
I have been fortunate to have had broad, advanced training experiences in a range of settings including VA hospitals and VA research laboratories, university settings, community mental health centers, a suicide prevention hotline, a specialized Dialectical Behavioral Therapy program, criminal justice/forensic settings, hospital settings, substance use disorder programs, and private practice.
