I have been a Clinical Psychologist since 1980, although as an adolescent and young adult
I did not expect to work in this profession. I graduated from the University of California, School of Professional Psychology in 1978. Throughout my professional career, I have maintained a private practice in
Ventura County and have developed two areas of specialty: services for the individual
and services for the family. Assistance to the individuals include: cognitive and behavioral therapy and hypno-therapy
to treat anxiety, depression, phobias, addictive disorders and stress related disorders.
In this capacity, I have served as Director of the Ventura County Suicide Prevention Program
and Director of Rehabilitation Psychology at St. Johns Regional Medical Center.
I have also been an attending physician at Anacapa By The Sea, an in-patient substance abuse
facility in Port Hueneme. Assistance to families includes family and couples therapy.
I was co-founder of the Parenting Center, a psycho-educational resource for parents in
Camarillo in the late 70s and St. Johns Stroke Group, a support program for patients
and families post CVA in the mid-80s. I also completed advanced training as an
Imago Relationship Therapist and as an Imago Couples Workshop Presenter in the mid 90s. Since the late 80s, I have been involved in Family Law and have worked
as a Custody Evaluator, Special Master, Court-Appointed Therapist and Family Mediator.
Since 2001, I have been a member of Collaborative Family Law Professionals of
Ventura County and currently serve as co-chairperson of that group.
