About DR. T
Professional
I received two master's degrees. One in Counseling Psychology from Palo Alto University and one in Human Behavior from National University. I also earned a Doctor of Psychology Degree (PsyD) from Ryokan College in Los Angeles, CA. I began my career as aa Behavior Analyst about 25 years ago and was a Board Certified Behavior Analyst for over 10 years. I switched careers after becoming a mother and realizing my values no longer aligned with the direction ABA was going. I emphasize in my work an importance in health, nature, attachment, freedom and balance. I enjoy working with indeviduals, parents, teens and children.
PERSONAL
Although the therapeutic relationship is focused solely on the client, I understand the need to know a little about who your therapist is as a person to feel comfortable. I Live in Santa Cruz, CA and love it here. I enjoy the beach surfing, Skateboarding, gardening, home making and sun gazing. I have 2 beautiful children and 3 active chihuahuas and although my therapy office is in a back closet and mostly sound proofed barking can sometimes be heard :)
