I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and doing this work is in my DNA.

Both my mother and father are therapists as well. My father, George Anderson, has trained me in his well-known model of Anger Management and Emotional Intelligence Coaching, and I take pride in offering it to my clients. My mother, Nancy Anderson was a school psychologist for over 30 years, and was a major influence in my work with youth. For 10 years, I worked with Anderson & Anderson providing Anger Management and Executive Coaching to individuals from all industries including physicians, engineers, and executives.

I am the author of Grab The Wheel: Helping Young Children Manage Explosive Anger, a school-based social-emotional learning curriculum that empowers teachers to support tricky behaviors while building positive social skills.

To begin my career, I worked as a behavioral therapist at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital Early Childhood Partial Hospitalization program (now known as Kids Connect). Internationally known for their treatment as well as research on Early Childhood Development and Autism, I was trained by UCLA Faculty Drs. Stephanny Freeman and Tanya Papparella, who mentored me and co-authored Grab The Wheel.

Between then and now I have worked with adults in inpatient psychiatric hospitals and eating disorder units, at an OCD residential treatment program, at a high school, an elementary school, and as a adjunct professor at the Texas A&M University Graduate School of Engineering, providing coaching to future leaders around the world. My wide range of experience is unique and reflects my comfort in working with individuals of all ages and abilities, and belief in lifelong learning.
