I earned my Ph.D. in clinical psychology in 2007. Since then, I have worked as a therapist and program manager in addiction treatment settings, including outpatieny community health programs and the Veterans Affairs system. In fall 2024, I moved from a full-time job at the Salem VA Medical Center's substance use treatment program to a part-time one in the outpatient mental health clinic. At that time, I opened a private practice. I provide outpatient addiction treatment to a small caseload and and training and consultation for motivational interviewing and addiction treatment generally.
