Mental Health Therapist
Location/ Program
Anoka Outpatient
Joined VOA
1971
Clinical Approach
I provide individual and family mental health therapy with adolescents and adults on an outpatient basis. Therapy is about the relationship between the therapist and the client and needs to meet the needs of the client, and I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy the most beneficial in the work that I do.
Areas of experience and interest
I developed and directed the autism center at Bar-None from 1979 - 1989, and have held positions at VOA - Bar-None including Director of Social Services, Program Director and was the Clinic Manager at the Anoka VOA Mental Health Clinic. I have served the present population I work with since 1968. My areas of interest include drug and alcohol addiction, Asperger's, grief and loss, depression and anxiety.
