Background:
I received my B.A. in Study of Religion (pre-med) from UCLA in 1979. I attended a masters program at San Diego State University before moving to the University of Minnesota, where I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1991. In 1992, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in pain research through the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California at San Diego. I worked as a clinical psychologist for HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital before joining the faculty of CSUB in 1995.

A Favorite Quote:
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded.” -- attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson
