Resume

Personal

Born and raised in Minneapolis, MN.  Early experiences of family instability led eventually to interest in psychology that was initially intellectual, and later personal/emotional.  This background has lent unusual depth to my

understanding of psychological problems, a special quality to my therapeutic relationships, and general optimism about the human capacity to  overcome problems, troubles, and handicaps.
