ACT/CBS Background and Training: I received my clinical and research training from the PhD program in clinical psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno. My dissertation was an ACT treatment outcome study for women with body image dissatisfaction. I received my clinical training in ACT from Dr. Steve Hayes (on his clinical team for 4 years) and Dr. Victoria Follette (on her clinical team for 5 years). Currently I am a faculty member in the department of medicine, division of psychosocial medicine, at National Jewish Health.

Additional Information: I have recently moved to Colorado and am interested in starting an ACT consultation group for professionals and students. If you live in the Denver metro area and are interested in starting such a group, please contact me at my email address.

If you/your institution is interested in receiving ACT training, please contact me at my email address. I look foward to becoming part of the contextual and behavioral science/ACT community in Denver.
