Personal
I have been married to my wonderful wife Wendy for nearly 30 years, we have raised two sons of whom I am very proud. My family brings a sense of richness and joy to my life.

I believe that my practice mirrors much of my life in that I have very broad interests and prefer to work with many different kinds of people of different ages and backgrounds.

I would say that I am true an eclectic. Given my array of broad interests you could find me attending sports events, out with my camera, snorkeling in tropical waters, at a rock ‘n’ roll concert or watching an opera.

Even when I was very young, people often praised me for being very easy to talk to. I have carried this trait with me throughout my life, and feel that it emerges within my practice of psychology. This quality mixed with my open-minded approach to life allows me to work successfully with many different individuals.
