My career in psychology began in 1979 when my friends advised me that I was “too analytical,” and ”too focused on interpersonal struggles within the company rather than on marketing scientific instruments.”  After several months of counseling including some career guidance, I decided that my friends were right, my interest was in working with people.  So, I left the business world and returned to school for six years of “retraining.”  I graduated with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1986 and immediately went to work building a private practice.  I have never regretted the years of sacrifice necessary to make this career change, rather I see my early experience in business as important and helpful as I listen to my clients struggle with some of the same issues that I had.   

By way of further introducing myself to you, here is my resume.
