Education
I received a Bachelor's degree from Stanford University, and Master's and Doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, accredited by the American Psychological Association. It was one of the first schools in the United States to integrate clinical experience in a variety of settings with classroom education focusing on theory and research. The California School of Professional Psychology was dedicated, at its founding in 1969, to honoring, valuing, and understanding diversity in a multicultural society, and to combating discrimination in all its forms.
