Meet Dr. Hoover

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in California where I live with my husband, our son, and our beloved dog, Brownie.

I am grateful to have a career doing what I love: helping others create meaningful change. When I’m not working with patients or facilitating trainings with healthcare providers, I love trekking through the redwoods, traveling, reading, playing board games, and trying to develop my green thumb (with varying degrees of success).
