I received a PhD in Clinical Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine (APA-approved program) from University of North Texas (UNT), a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Texas A&M - Corpus Christi, and a Bachelor's in Psychology from University of Texas - San Antonio. I am Board Certified in Neurofeedback (BCN) by BCIA. My PhD program adapted a biopsychosocial approach to psychological assessment and treatment with an emphasis in psychophysiology, behavioral health, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy / Theory, neurofeedback, quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG), and peripheral biofeedback. I also attended UNT-Health Science Center (UNT's medical school) as a part of a consortium agreement where I received training in peripheral biofeedback and basic and clinical pharmacology. I completed my formal internship at Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation - a consistently nationally rank hospital.
