I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from New Mexico State University as well as masters and post-masters training in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic. I am currently associate professor and department chair of Counselor Education at Portland State University. Previously, I was an assistant/associate professor at Montana State University.

My research and scholarly agenda focuses on family systems theory and the effects of family experiences on psychosocial development in adolescence and adulthood as well as the integration of psychological and spiritual health. My research has led to over 20 published articles in professional journals. I recently published a book, Reclaiming Your Real Self: A Psychological and Spiritual Integration (2009).


Clinical Practice

As a Licensed Psychologist, I maintain an active private practice in the Portland Oregon area, focusing on couples and family therapy, as well as individual adult psychotherapy. My theoretical orientation is an integration of family systems, relational psychodynamic, and humanistic/existential. Areas of clinical expertise include relational issues, divorce, childhood trauma, family addiction issues, depression, anxiety, and spirituality. Along with being a Licensed Psychologist in Oregon, I am a clinical member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
