I was granted my clinical Psy.D. from California School of Professional Psychology, San Diego in 2007. My masters of arts in psychology was granted from that same institution in 2005. I graduated from Whitman College in 2002 with my bachelor's degree in History.

My manuscript, “Starting a Financially Successful Private Practice in Clinical Psychology: A Guide for Graduate Students and Early Career Psychologists”, is currently available through Amazon.com.
In 2009 I published my book, "MMPI-2 Personality Profiles of Male Victims of Domestic Violence" which is available on Amazon.com. Having written my doctoral dissertation on domestic violence, I understand the importance of learning more about the way that domestic violence affects individuals. From 2005-2007 I served a research team for school violence prevention in creating the first university and college violence prevention program in the United States. I am a former associate professor of psychology at Trinity Lutheran College where I taught a variety of classes in psychology for five years.

I have been evaluating police officers and fire employees for more than ten years and it delights me to help support our community in that way. I work with police departments and fire departments across Washington State. Since I have been in my practice I have performed nearly 4 thousand ability to work evaluations for the State of Washington and nearly 700 Social Security Administration evaluations, evaluating for mental disability.
