History

Established in 1973.

I received my Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Nevada in 1970 and my M.A. psychology degree at the University of Toledo in 1964. I was a pre-​doctoral intern at Patton State Hospital of California from 1969 – 1970, and a post-​doctoral intern at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Palo Alto, California from 1970 – 71.

I worked 31 years with the Santa Clara County Mental Health Services until retiring from that organization in 2003. During that time I performed a variety of services, although mostly it consisted of teaching psychology graduate students/​interns how to successfully treat the more complicated diagnostic patients who came to County Mental Health in a state of crisis.

In addition, during much of this time I maintained a private psychotherapy practice seeing a variety of clientele. I have been licensed as a Psychologist in California (PSY 3936) since 1973.
