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 Graduate 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 the FASD, ADHD, OCD/PANDAS, medical specialities (pulmonology, metabolic, renal, pediatric inpatient) and neuropsychology clinics.
After finishing my doctoral degree, I completed a one-year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington Autism Center, as well as a one-year LEND fellowship (Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities) through UW.
