In addition to my private practice, for over a decade I worked at a local Level 1 Trauma Center. In this role, I provided individual and couples psychotherapy

to the hospital employees and their family members. I also supervised pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students as part of a CAPIC approved training program. Additionally, I delivered trainings on a range of mental health topics and facilitated departmental workshops on team building, stress management, communication in the workplace, work-life integration, physician resiliency, staff as the second victim, and coping with medical errors. I participated in committee work focused on supporting the mental health of medical professionals and served as a co-investigator for a research program dedicated to physician mental health. This work resulted in research publications related to the program.

I am a lifelong learner who regularly engages in continuing education to further refine my clinical skill set. I completed a year-long specialty training course in The Developmental Model of Couple's Therapy under the guidance of Ellyn Bader, PhD, at the Couple's Institute. I am trained in EMDR, an evidenced-based treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Beyond these formal trainings, I have completed a wide range of additional comprehensive professional trainings, which you can view here: Trainings. I also have 150+ hours of psychodynamic training through ongoing monthly seminars and biweekly consultations to support and enhance my clinical work. I am a member of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Sciences (ACBS), Sacramento Valley Psychological Association (SVPA), California Psychological Association (CPA), the American Psychological Association (APA), and EMDR International Association (EMDRIA).

In my spare time I enjoy volunteering, spending time with my family and pets, reading fiction, and watching mystery movies.
