I have worked as a licensed Clinical Psychologist for over 20 years. I started at UC Berkeley majoring in Old English and Latin and after graduating, I left Berkeley to earn a PhD in Clinical Psychology within a Jungian orientation. Later, while on the Hopi Indian reservation, at the age of 42, I joined the US Army Medical Service Corps as a clinical psychologist reservist and was deployed from to Afghanistan 2011- 2012 as a combat psychologist. I was trained by the US Army Medical Service Corps in TeleHealth delivery and delivered TeleHealth sessions while in a combat zone in Afghanistan.

I started my academic career at the University of New Mexico as an assistant research professor, successfully obtaining over 5 million dollars in grant funding (K23, RO1) from the National Institute of Health (NIH) to study PTSD and substance abuse among Pueblo tribes. I left New Mexico to work with US Marines and Navy personnel, first at Twentynine Palms Naval Hospital, then later at Camp Pendleton, California.

Upon return from Afghanistan, I started the Alpha Theta Center, wherein the past 5 years we moved from strictly providing neurofeedback services, to establishing research relationships with engineers and project scientists to understand how the brain works.
