I have pursued God's direction for my life since my Christian conversion at age 11. Subsequent to my graduation with a BA in psychology (1977) from Westmont College I intended to become a Christian minister. After working a summer as a Jr. High Intern I sensed a calling to become a psychologist. I graduated with a Ph.D. from the Clinical Psychology program at Western Conservative Baptist Seminary (1986). I completed a Pre-doctoral Internship at Philhaven Hospital before coming to Salt Lake City. I am certified as a Group Psychotherapist (CGP, 1996), Practitioner of Psychodrama (CP, 1997), Trainer, Educator and Practitioner of Psychodrama (TEP, 2001), and Board Certified Professional Christian Counselor (BCPCC, 2007).
I have been at SSCCC since 1989, serving as Clinical Director since 1993. I am the Director of Shepherd's Staff Training in Psychodrama. I serve as a Mental Health Professional/ Team Leader for the volunteer Utah Critical Incident Stress Management Team. I am an Associate Instructor of DCE through the University of Utah offering an occasional class..
My special interests include spiritual/faith related issues, psychological trauma related disorders (posttraumatic stress, dissociation, etc.), grief counseling/psychotherapy, and psychodrama/group psychotherapy. General practice areas include adults, adolescents, and children, individual, couple/marriage, and family psychotherapy, depression/mood, anxiety, and somatoform disorders, sexual addictions, psychological testing, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and hypnotherapy. I offer demonstration sessions in psychodrama as a way to introduce myself and psychodrama to the public and other professionals.
My therapeutic orientation is primarily eclectic and holistic incorporating psychodynamic, (family) systems, and cognitive-behavioral conceptualizations but with special sensitivity toward a humanistic approach within a Christian framework. Major interests are in the individual and interpersonal relationships and all orientations and approaches incorporating and emphasizing the health of a person and his/her relationships yet also appreciating the "spiritual," emotional, cognitive and physical aspects of human functioning. Treatment is tailored to the needs of the individual and priority is given to short-term approaches when they are applicable.
I
am pleased to work with my wife at SSCCC and enjoy my two children. I
serve in various ministries at South
Valley Community Church including leadership of a prayer group. I
have retired from running after two marathons and now bicycle to stay
in shape. (more-vita)
