Listen, act, and transform
I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I have been working in the field for over 20-years. I have an extensive background in treating first responders and working within the legal system. I believe in taking a direct approach to help you heal and move forward. I will walk with you every step of the way. I do not believe that you need to be in therapy for a lifetime. In fact, my goal is to help you move forward by providing you the tools and insight you need to live a fulfilling life. In addition to providing treatment I also provide forensic evaluations and I am a California POST compliant evaluator for peace officers. I do not do fitness for duty evaluations at this time.
A little bit about me; I have undergraduate degrees in psychology and criminology and corrections. I attended a graduate program in criminal justice before completing my doctorate in clinical psychology in 2010. I recently completed a program in clinical psychopharmacology. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and our dog. We enjoy the outdoors, traveling and taking in all the central coast has to offer.
Please note: I am currently only in network with United Healthcare. For Blue Cross of CA members I will no longer be in network as of June 2024. I am happy to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement for any policy. However, I cannot guarantee whether your insurance will reimburse you, or the percentage that they will cover. Please check with your insurance plan for those details.
