Biography
As a licensed psychotherapist, I provide psychotherapeutic interventions to help clients manage cognitive, mental, and emotional issues, empowering them to negotiate the difficult transitions of life, including the workplace. An ordained minister for nearly 30 years, I have extensive experience coaching clergy and others who struggle to navigate the dynamics of vocation, work-life balance, relational conflict, anxiety and/or depression.
A tenured professor in Vanguard University’s Organizational Psychology program, I teach Behavior and Psychology in Organizations, Psychology of Leadership and Motivation, Organizational Systems, Development and Change. Prior to returning to Vanguard, I founded and directed the Organizational Psychology program for Concordia University Irvine, where I occasionally teach in the graduate counseling program. I also teach Industrial-Organizational Psychology, and Career Development at Pepperdine University when time allows.
