Psychologist -- Alaska

  • Additional Information

Strong background in applied behavior analysis and behavior therapy.
My early clinical work (1980s) was largely with persons experiencing chronic pain and other physical problems, and with persons with anxiety disorders. In this work I came to appreciate the importance of processes such as mindfulness. Currently I'm more of a generalist and primarily work with adolescents, families, and adults. I consult and provide treatment services at a secure juvenile treatment facility.
