Therapy can help people find solutions and reduce their anxiety, depression, and daily turmoil, as they learn new ways to deal with life. We all experience "problems in living" in our everyday lives. We attempt to overcome these problems through learned behavior or self-taught coping skills and sometimes we don't address the actual issues. A therapy relationship is private, non-judgmental, and personal. I am here to help you navigate through rough waters and develop a better sense of self and understanding of the " how's and why's ".

I graduated with a BS and MA from Eastern New Mexico University and completed a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Oklahoma in 1971. I built and served as clinical director of Norman Counseling Clinic from 1984 to 2013, and have conducted a private practice since 1972. I have supervised a multidisciplinary clinical staff including MD, LCSW, PhD, and LPC with a wide variety of special interests and clinical acumen. Also, I served on both the adjunct and professional staff of the University of Oklahoma for many years, lecturing in the areas of psychotherapy, diagnostics, and therapeutic systems at Air Force bases around the world. I recently moved back to Las Cruces, New Mexico, to be close to my daughter and son-in-law, having grown up in Albuquerque this feels like coming home. I have established an outpatient practice at 2455 Missouri Ave Suite A, Las Cruces NM.
