Biography
For over twenty-five years, I have been a psychotherapist, professor, and trainer. I have private practice working with women, children, and families dealing with addictions and recovery from child abuse and trauma. I am full professor at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, New York, where I teach courses in Psychology. My courses emphasize biological, psychological, and sociological factors that shape human growth and development.
I have worked as a trainer and consultant in human service settings and have developed and facilitated dozens of workshops and ctrainings on pertinent clinical issues. My child welfare workshops are designed to provide helping professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to help assess and respond to families in crisis, including techniques for engaging families in a working relationship and skills for intervening effectively with clients. I have facilitated large group workshops on communication, parenting skills, and family relations.
