My interest in psychotherapy, biofeedback and neurofeedback began over 25 years ago and led me to a career in these areas. I studied clinical and research psychology at the University of Dublin, Trinity College, in Ireland, where I received my B.A. and M.A. degrees. I did post-graduate study at the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland, then earned my Ph.D. from the California Institute of Integral Studies, in San Francisco. My dissertation research, using neurofeedback and biofeedback to study the physical effects of stress and reversing them, laid a foundation for much of my work today.

As a research associate at the University of California, San Francisco, I studied the relationship between illness and behavioral style. I was then program director of the Cybernetix Medical Institute, Concord, California, for seven years. I directed the biofeedback and behavioral medicine programs and led weekly seminars on preventive behavioral medicine at Mt. Diablo Medical Center.

My research has been published and presented at conferences internationally. I am currently the Executive Director of the Biofeedback Society of California and am a past president of that organization.

In addition to my research, I also see myself as a coach, trainer and therapist. I assist clients in overcoming obstacles, reaching their goals, and achieving unimagined states of positive well-being. My clients and I enjoy the results of neurofeedback for conditions such as essential hypertension, anxiety, obsessive worry, sleep disorders, seizure disorders, attention deficit disorder (ADD) and depression. I have extensive experience with general biofeedback for such problems as repetitive strain injuries, phobias, panic, headaches, effects of prostititis, etc.

(I hold certifications in biofeedback, neurofeedback and quantitative EEG.)

In psychotherapy, I like to work with a wide range of issues, including growth and optimal functioning. One of my special interests is exploring with men and women at mid-life the developmental tasks of this stage of life -- relationships, family concerns, and concerns of the single man or woman living in a world of couples. Since I am originally from both Scotland and Ireland and have dealt with the issues of leaving family and culture, I welcome all individuals in this situation. My 20 years of meditation and deep relaxation practice have, I believe, helped me develop my intuitive skills and understanding of the deeper levels of the mind. I deeply appreciate being able, in this manner, to integrate both my professional and personal work.
