I've had a full-time outpatient practice for 35 years. I started my professional career as a faculty member at the University of Richmond and then successively became the Director of Psychology at a state hospital and a private psychiatric hospital. During this time I was also a clinical consultant for two national hospital corporations. My goal has always been to provide my clients with the best possible services. I do this by consistently updating my knowledge and skills, allowing me to use clinically proven, scientifically supported treatment. I am especially interested in helping people to overcome the effects of trauma that can result from painful life events, such as divorce, a serious accident, combat, abuse, or death of a loved one.
