About Me
Why do we act and think and feel as we do? Although the question is too big to fully answer, the attempt
to do so has been extremely interesting and led me to study and work using a variety of approaches:
organizing communities, family therapy, consultation, conducting clinical and developmental research,
individual and group psychotherapy, and biofeedback. I bring those experiences to working with clients
by examining problems from a variety of perspectives, which can be generally described as relational,
psychological, and biological. Each of these levels influence the others, so working any one can help
with the others. As a private practice clinician I now use interventions which corresond to these
perspectives, including family systems models, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches, and
biofeedback.
I earned a Ph.D. in Clinical/Community Psychology in 1992 from the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign. After completing a residency in the Department of Pediatrics and Human Development at Michigan State University, I worked at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children assessing social-emotional and cognitive problems in children hospitalized for orthopedic and neurological disorders. In 1993 I was awarded a post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington, working with adolescents with mood disorders and conduct problems. The next year I began working at the Center on Human Development and Disabilities at the University of Washington, where I consulted with families and conducted clinical research on an intervention I designed to improve the social competence of children with mild to moderate cognitive and language delays. I have presented at conferences and published articles in the areas of depression, parent-child relations, social competence, and fatherhood.
I have been in private practice since 2001, working with children, adolescents, and adults who have a variety of problems. I primarily work with people struggling with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, mood disorders, and physical problems (such as sleep and chronic pain/headaches).
