I recently obtained a second Ph.D. in Christian Psychology from Cornerstone University.
I obtained my first Ph.D. in Psychology in 2005 after successfully defending my Dissertation
on Alcoholism, Personality Disorder and Attachment Theory from Southern California
University.
My Masters degree education in Mental Health Counseling comes from Argosy University,
formerly known as University of Sarasota.
Unlike other Christian counseling services I have rescinded state licensing for private
licensing through NCCA for complete autonomy in my Christian services.
I received National Board Certification for Abuse and Crisis Therapy.
I am a Nationally Board Approved Supervisor and a member of the National Board of
Christian Clinical Therspists.
Mental Health Presenter for The Children's Institute, Inc. for Assisting Children in
Transition (ACT) Program run by the 7th Judicial District Monroe County.
I have also had extensive education from Rochester Institute of Technology in Neural
linguistics, Meyers Briggs and other areas of psychology.
I have been in private practice since 1999 and worked in conjunction with the Outreach
Community Center, located on Genesee Street, since 2000.
Professional Mediation Background & History
|
My mediation training comes from Cornell University, New York Court System and Syracuse University. I firmly
believe in delivering a quality service to my client. This is why I have a B.S. in Accounting/Business Administration
giving me knowledge in areas as taxes, fair market values, equity's, putting values on tangible and non-tangible assets,
and working with debt. I have a Masters degree in Administration continuing my studies in the business area. This
business background coupled with my Mental Health Counseling and Psychology allows me to offer my clients a unique
mix of talents to assist them in their decision making.
I have worked with the court system providing mediation and arbitration services. Unlike other "mediators" who are self
labeled as professional, Family Counseling & Mediation has sought out only the best training to ethically provide the best
for you. This is why I am a mediator for the 7th Judicial District Court of New York State for divorce, custody, parenting
and community dispute. My professional qualifications come from the court system, not from self labeling.
Mediation Services include Divorce, Parenting (Visitation), Custody, Landlord/Tenant, and Family Conflicts. Only a hand
full of mediators in the Rochester are utilized by either Supreme and/or Family Courts in the 7th Judicial District. I have
developed a working relationship with the courts over the past 8 years. I am a Panel member, both as a Mental Health
presenter and Divorce Mediator, of the ACT (Assisting Children in Transition) Program for the last eight (8) years. ACT
is put together by the 7th Judicial District to educate divorcing parents on how to keep children out of the middle of
divorce.
I also am privileged to sit as an Arbitrator for the Monroe County Bar Association for Domestic Relations Fee Arbitration
hearings.
