About Me
I am a clinical psychologist licensed in Oregon (OR1997). I received my undergraduate education at University of Portland in 1999, graduating with Honors in Psychology. I spent 4+ years working as an ABA therapist for children with autism, before returning to graduate school.
​
I completed my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology at Pacific University School of Professional Psychology in 2008. At the same time I completed a two-year predoctoral neuropsychology externship in the Hematology/Oncology department of Doernbecher Children's Hospital. I completed my predoctoral internship at the University of Minnesota Medical School, Department of Pediatrics, in the Child/Adolescent Psychiatry and Pediatric Psychology departments. This included rotations in the FASD, ADHD, OCD/PANDAS, and neuropsychology clinics.
​
After finishing my doctoral degree, I completed a one-year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington Autism Center. I also completed a one-year LEND fellowship (Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities) through UW.

About My Practice
​
My practice is focused on contract evaluations for county DD services. On occasion, I am able to fit in private evaluations.
​
My office is located in Multnomah Village in the historic Nelson Thomas building, above Marco's Cafe, in Suite 3 (Coriolis).
**Please note that that the path to my office has 22 steps and is not ADA accessible.
Evaluation Services
At this time, I am only working with the county for DD eligibility evaluations. As part of my commitment to reparative justice, I offer free or reduced-cost services to individuals of African American descent whose ancestors were enslaved in the United States, as well as to those of Indigenous heritage.
