Background and Experience

Welcome to my information page. I am a licensed psychologist who has worked for over 25 years in this field.  I draw my experience from my first career in human resource management, my  training and experience as a counseling psychologist, and my involvement in a wide variety of settings.  Since the beginning of my career in psychology, I have worked in hospitals, on a college campus, and in private psychotherapy practices.  In addition I have had the opportunity to work as a senior consultant for an international psychological consulting firm.  As a consultant, I used in depth personality assessments, cognitive ability assessments, and extensive interviews to help executive and managers with hiring and selection, succession planning, and leadership development.  Additionally, I facilitated individual and group conflict resolutions and led team building trainings.  During this period, I traveled the country working with top executives and management teams in large national and multinational corporations.  

I received my undergraduate degree from Southern Methodist University, and my Masters and Ph.D. degrees in psychology from the University of North Texas. I trained for an additional year at the College of Executive Coaching.  Since completion of my training in coaching (including working with executives and individuals from all walks of life) a significant portion of my practice has been dedicated to working with clients who have needed career coaching more than therapy.

I see myself as a very down to earth, compassionate person who is also pragmatic and very solution oriented.  I love inspiring and motivating individuals to achieve their potential in the job/career they desire.   I am honest with my clients, and I actually do give advice.  Laughing with my clients is important to me and see humor as an important part of my relationships.   

I currently have my own organizational consulting business and I work primarily, although not exclusively, with non-profit organizations.   I have a sliding scale fee, based on my client's ability to pay.  You can contact me at 694-4401 to discuss your needs and my fees. 

I am very passionate about my work and my ability to "give back" to my community.  I provide expertise in the following areas:

Interviewing and Selection of key employees

Assessments and coaching for the development of current employees.

Succession planning

Executive Director/Owner Coaching

Team Building

Conflict Resolution

Cultural Assessments and Statements
