Helping People Improve

After graduating from the University of Notre Dame with my Master of Arts Degree in Psychological Counseling, I have been practicing Psychology in a variety of settings.  My first position was as a Psychologist at Reading Rehabilitation Hospital.  This is where I began my interests in Mind-Body Integration.  During those years I worked with individuals who had severe head injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, stroke, multiple sclerosis and chronic pain.  I later worked at hospitals in Lancaster County where I served as the Director of Psychology and helped develop a multidisciplinary chronic pain program and headache clinic.  In private practice I work closely with my patient's physicians.

In addition to counseling services for adolescents and adults, I provide couples counseling and marital therapy.  I also provide the Health and Behavioral Assessments needed prior to Bariatric Surgery.  In addition, I perform psychological evaluations prior to a trial of the Spinal Stimulator.  I am a member of the Pennsylvania Psychological Association and past President of the Berks Area Psychological Society.
