" From the coal miners' town of Scranton PA I learned young that if something is broken get it fixed fast and strong, and take the time figure out what broke it. That's how I do therapy. I became interested in psychology having grown up with family members who survived with PTSD from working the mines and serving in war. I determined early on that I could be one of those who could help others stand up to what they needed to overcome. I volunteered as a peer support counselor in high school and in college. Though a normal long-haired college kid in the 70's with all its challenges, I studied hard, (knowing scholarships were the only way to go to graduate school), and graduated summa cum laude. I applied to and was accepted into what I considered one of the best analytic psychology graduate institutes in the country, and was fortunate enough to be awarded National Institute of Mental Health Fellowships. I focused my doctoral research in the areas of trauma and life-threatening experience and its effects. I interned in a VA hospital working with veterans from 3 wars. My first professional position was in Colorado in a community mental health center, as a full time psychotherapist on the crisis/triage team. I began a private practice while finishing my research here in Colorado, and have had my office in the Oxford Hotel Annex since 1984." I strongly believe that Psychotherapy should be affordable, effective, and private. I am an active therapist providing results focused analytic psychotherapy.
