I began my career in 1972 at Camarillo State Hospital
where I went on to complete a 24 month internship at the Norbert
Rieger Children's Treatment Center. From this I gained experience
working with every conceivable type of childhood disorder and
earned an M.S. in Special Education. At this point I took a position
as a special education director in a small public school district
where I had the opportunity to become very versed in the problems
that plague children with special needs in that type of setting.
After four years of teaching I returned to graduate school at
the Fielding Institute and earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology
and an M.F.T. license. As a private practitioner I have been strongly
influenced by the theoretical school of C.G. Jung and the pragmatic
application of therapeutic hypnosis as innovated by Milton Erickson,
Erickson's work being the subject of my doctoral dissertation.
I have, over the years, worked in family counseling agencies,
a mental institution and out patient clinics. I have led therapy
groups of Vietnam vets, supervised interns at a local counseling
center, led Hypnosis training groups for therapists and provided
educational consulting. In 1996 I began developing a specialty
in neurofeedback and find to this day that it has greatly enhanced
the therapeutic success of my practice.
