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.
