Thanks for visiting my website. I am interested in getting to know you and I would love for you to know a little bit about me. I spent the first 28 years of my life in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Most of my family lives there still. The University of Tulsa (go Hurricanes!) is where I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1993.

As part of my degree program, I completed a one year full-time clinical internship at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, Texas. As an intern, I completed rotations through Child, Adolescent, and Adult Inpatient Psychiatry, Child, Adolescent, and Adult Outpatient services, and Adult rehabilitation and Neuropsychological services. Immediately following the completion of my internship, I went to work for Terrell State Hospital as a staff psychologist on an Adult Inpatient Unit. After a year, I returned to work full time as a Staff Psychologist at Presbyterian Hospital in Adult Inpatient and Outpatient Services.
