Professional Credentials
In 2006, I was awarded post-doctoral respecialization certification in Clinical Psychology
from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. In 2008, I fulfilled post-doctoral clinicalrequirements as a Clinical Psychologist with the State of Hawaii Department ofEducation. In the Spring of 2009, I was awarded licensure to practice as a ClinicalPsychologist in the State of Hawaii (PSY 1111), and in the Fall of 2009 I began a private
practice.
Professional Experience
I have been employed as a clinical psychologist in private practice since 2009.
From 2007 to 2015, I was employed by the State of Hawaii Department of Education as aClinical Psychologist VI. This role allowed me to provide direct support to students andschools including clinical assessment, consultation, and counseling services. I also
provided supervision and programmatic assistance to master’s level behavioral healthclinicians and other personnel providing mental health services to students. In all, I
conferred services to schools comprising the Kalani and Kaiser Complexes of Honolulu
District and direct clinical supervision to over 10 master’s level clinicians (Behavioral
Health Specialists).
As a Clinical Psychologist Intern (2004-06), I provided services to the Hawaii State
Departments of Education and Health. Through the Department of Education, I offeredSchool-Based Behavioral Health (SBBH) services to students identified as disabled or
impaired through their Individual Educational Plans (IEP). With the Department ofHealth, I furnished intensive in-home therapy for children and adolescents.
I was employed by Pacific Resources for Education and Learning (PREL) from 19972007 and served as the Director of Evaluation Training and Principal Investigator of900K in grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
In 2000, I was elected co-chair of the American Evaluation Association’s Internationaland Cross-Cultural Evaluation group, and served on its International Committee. I havealso served as a reviewer for the American Journal of Evaluation, Evaluation andProgram Planning, and the Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation.
Early after completion of my doctorate in 1994, I moved to Hawaii and conductededucational program evaluation for the University of Hawaii, Office of the Chancellor forCommunity Colleges and Leeward Community College (1994 to 1997).
Professional Goals
As a clinical and research psychologist, I am interested in promoting the well-being of
those with mental illness, both as a clinician and as a proponent of national, state, county,and community mental health reform. I seek to strengthen and broaden my expertise inthese interests by building upon experience gained as a clinical psychologist and as a
researcher involved in psychotherapy outcome research.
