I I have been in practice as a licensed psychologist for over 23 years and have worked in a variety of settings with diverse clientele.

I also engaged in outreach activities to promote mental health awareness in the university community. During my postdoctoral internship at Miami County Mental Health Center, I treated children, adolescents, and adults presenting with a wide range of issues and challenges.
