Bio

My clinical interests are working with children, adolescents, families, couples, adults, groups, and the elderly. My specializations are children, adolescents, adults, families, groups, addictions, mental health and dual diagnoses. My research interests are evaluating programs for outcome effectiveness, evaluating effectiveness for short-term models of treatment and therapy, and researching the variables that effect a positive recovery from addictions for families, the addict, and family members.
