Experience

Having been in the field of mental & behavioral health for 53 years, I have had the opportunity to work in a range of settings, including inpatient, outpatient, community mental health, mobile Crisis and Assessment Team, and private practice. In addition to my client-facing work, I have been a consultant to Neurology, Orthopedic Surgery, and general medical practices on the psychological, relational, and emotional aspects of chronic illness and pain management.
