As a Licensed Psychologist *27385), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (19776) and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (6247), my approach is Cognitive-Behavioral with Family Systems. I continue to have a private practice. I also have worked for local, state and federal agencies in which I trained mental health professionals in families in transition issues, and worked with the mentally ill, homeless and alcohol/substance abuse individuals for many years. My priority in both my personal and professional life is to continue to learn and to love. My clients inspire me and in return my priority is to see individuals for who they truly are, accept them as they are and share the insight there is no such thing as a mistake but only an experience in which there is an opportunity to learn.
