I have been most fortunate to have worked in the field of psychology, human services and higher education for four decades. Initially, I worked in a college counseling center while maintaining a private practice. Later, I became a professor and chairperson of the human services department while continuing to see clients privately. Through these years, I was able to balance teaching students about psychological principles and techniques while practicing therapy. I have developed programs and courses in Substance Abuse Counseling, Health Psychology and Positive Psychology and have been able to use these methods in counseling.

I have learned much over the years sitting and listening deeply and unconditionally to those in therapy. I can offer a safe and open place to explore personal issues, helping to uncover sources of conflict, find clarity, a sense of meaning, as well as discover individual strengths. I use psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, and mindfulness practices.
As a lifelong learner I have also moved from focusing on psychopathology to a strengths-based model, specifically positive psychology, highlighting one’s strengths and talents and striving towards meaning and purpose more that the condition or diagnosis of an individual.
