My undergraduate work in Psychology was done at The University of Michigan-Dearborn. I earned my master's degree in Family Studies and my doctorate in Educational Psychology at The University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, graduating with honors at both universities. I taught at The University of New Mexico several years before going into private practice. I practiced 15 years in Albuquerque, New Mexico, before moving to PendIeton in 2009, and I keep my New Mexico counseling license current and active, license #LPCC 92271.
