Professionally, I've conducted therapy, research, and psychological services in California, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Texas prior to making my permanent move here to the Sound. Across the country, I have built a multifaceted skill set by working in venues such as veterans hospitals, community mental health centers, counseling centers, private psychiatric hospitals, and private practice. This background has helped me stylize a treatment approach that is built to adapt to numerous issues. On weekdays, I provide psychological treatment to homeless veterans who are getting back on their feet. Additionally, I am the lead investigator for a line of research dedicated to improving treatment and understanding what predicts change when people successfully complete treatment. As a hobby, I also like to dabble in research that pertains to understanding the connection between religion, secularity, spirituality, and mental health. And if all this information hasn't bored you yet, feel free to download my curriculum vitae here for further sleep inducing opportunity.
