I came to Maine 30 years ago, shortly following completing my degree
in Clinical Psychology, at the University of Missouri-Columbia. My
undergraduate degree was in Physiological Psychology and I still have a
keen interest in learning, memory, sleep, pain and other complex brain
functions. I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses in the
Psychology Department and have been involved in the training of various
mental health professionals; counselors, social workers and pre-doctoral
psychology interns. I live on the coast of Maine and have raised a
family here, and have come to make Maine my home. I have numerous
interests in outdoor activities and sports, including tennis, golf, and
previously noon-hour basketball.
In addition to my position at the University, for a number of years, I
have maintained a private practice and been involved in professional
issues such as ethics, licensing and mental health legislation. Two
important training influences for me were the St. Louis Psychoanalytic
Institute and Masters and Johnson Sex clinical, both affiliated with
Washington University Medical School, where I served my internship. I
find the years of college and young-adult transition often to be the
most significant time of development in a person's life.
