I grew up on an Iowa farm and was first in my family to graduate from college. I received a Ph.D. in psychology, from an APA-approved program in Counseling Psychology in 1983. I trained in university counseling centers and the VA system, and have practiced in a university counseling center, a dual-diagnosis psychiatric hospital, and extensively in private practice. I have held academic appointments in counseling psychology at Penn State University and UB. In recent years I have been active in opposing restrictions at state and federal levels in employment opportunities for Licensed Professional Counselors who train in psychology-based programs such as UB's.
