About My Psychology Practice
"Helping People Change"
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. I have been
in private practice working closely with William Santoro, MD and Phillip J.
Baney, IV, MD of Laureldale Family Medicine. In addition to counseling
services for adolescents and adults, I provide couples counseling and
marital therapy. I also perform evaluations for the Office of Vocational
Rehabilitation. In addition I perform pre-surgical evaluations for the
Spinal Stimulator and Bariatric surgery. I have memberships in the
American Psychological Association and the Pennsylvania Psychological
Association. Recently it was my privilege to serve as President of the
Berks Area Psychological Society.
