I have been practicing for over 35 years with experience in out-patient, in-patient and long term care settings.  I received my B.A. in psychology from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  At the University of California I studied humanistic psychology and metaphysics.  After completing my B.A. I worked on an in-patient unit in New England specializing in drug and alcohol treatment.  

     I later moved to Colorado and attended the Psy.D. program at the school of professional psychology.  I was awarded the doctorate of psychology, Psy.D. from the University of Denver. I completed an internship at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Biloxi, Mississippi.  After moving to Boston I worked for two years at a clinic specializing in the treatment of addictive disorders.  When I returned to Denver in 1983 I built a successful out-patient practice treating adolescents and adults.  I have been on rotation at several Denver area hospitals and have worked the complete continuum of care from high acuity hospitalization to independent living.

     I later began a consulting practice in the long-term care industry providing specialty services to geriatric populations, individuals with disabilities, individuals with chronic medical conditions and those with chronic mental illness.
