Experience

What have you been doing that you want to do more of?
I have over 40 years of experience working in a variety of settings. My experience includes working on a college campus treating college students, private practice and providing remote telehealth services. I am a veteran and was in the Air Force during the Vietnam conflict. I have worked on military bases with active duty military service members both at home and overseas, and worked in a VA hospital setting. I work with ages 16 and up and provide individual therapy.

Awards/Publications

Dissertation published entitled, “Personality Subsystems of Surgical versus Non- Surgical Chronic Low Back Pain Patients”.

Published in the Handbook of Medical Psychotherapist – “Cost- effective strategies in mental Health” by Stuttgart, Hogrefe, and Huber Publishers.

Desired populations – I really like working with young adults; I have seen both undergraduate and graduate students at Vanderbilt and Duke University. I also enjoy working with older adults and have worked with younger individuals in their late teens.
I think that as psychotherapists we need to be able to understand our client’s perceptions of their world in order to help them move forward with their life journey, being able to meet them where they are in life in order to help them move past the issues that are destabilizing them.
Treatment modalities – CBT, DBT, NLP, Positive Psychology, and work-life balance.
Specialties/ issues treated – ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorders, Bipolar Disorders, Stress-related Disorders, Adjustment Disorders
Personal interests – I really like to travel and spent a year working in Germany. I was able to travel all around Europe during my time there. I am really interested in the work-life balance because I went through 16 years of doing all the things that I needed to do to support my wife’s challenges with Cancer. This really made me more Mindful of all that we have that we tend to take for granted, as if it will always be there. But this can disappear in a single hour. This experience made me understand and appreciate what life was all about, and how important the people who make up your support system are to each of us.
