I have worked in the field of mental health for the past 40 years. My experience includes work in the areas of mental retardation, undergraduate and graduate education, and community and inpatient service delivery for persons with mental/emotional disorders and specialized work for Emergency Responders in the prevention and treatment of critical incident stress.

I recently retired as a Licensed Psychologist at the local state operated psychiatric center where, as the Program Administrator on the Children & Youth Service, I administered a 12 bed unit for the inpatient treatment of troubled kids between the ages of thirteen and eighteen.
