I continued this internship as a staff psychologist at the Penitentiary of New Mexico where I eventually became Chief of Mental Health Services.
Four years later I came to the Pacific Northwest and began work as a psychologist at an inpatient addiction treatment center while joining a group psychology practice.
This practice involves psychotherapy with adolescents to adults and psychological evaluations and forensic psychology. I now have over forty years of experience in a number of areas of counseling and psychology. I have expertise in planning and management of mental health delivery systems, diagnostic evaluations, and expert witness testimony. I have been a presenter at a number of workshops and television programs in Missouri, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington that have dealt with topics such as communication systems, bereavement, adoption, attachment, alcoholism, and the treatment of the mentally ill offender. I also have training and expertise in the treatment of minority populations. In 1991 I received levels I and II training (four days) in the application of Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
This procedure seems to utilize the facilitation of rapid eye movement to metabolize or eliminate emotional trauma from both historical and present day traumatic experiences. This has now become an important part of my therapy approach when working with individuals who want relief from their exposure to traumatic incidents.
