I've been a mental health professional for over 25 years working in settings including community mental
health, private practice, and in military hospitals and clinics for the past 13 years. Main areas of
specialization includes sleep-related issues, Chronic Pain, Anxiety, Stress, Depression,
Military/Veteran's Issues, ADD/ADHD, Adjustment Disorder, Aging, Anger Management, Career Counseling,
Communication Issues, Grief, Panic Disorders, Coping Skills, Smoking Cessation and changes for healthy
lifestyles.
My life experience has been quite diverse to say the least. Starting as an electronics technician in the
US Coast Guard, then becoming a software engineer working with NASA and the Air Force in the Space Program
at Cape Canaveral, and finally changing careers to Psychologist. This diversity in work experience has
provided the insight needed to understand the challenges that daily life can present to us, and how to be
empowered to overcome these challenges.
I have a particular interest in working with military active duty service members, retirees, veterans,
and their dependants. I follow a "Person-Centered" approach to therapy.
