My degrees are a BS in Psychology, an MS in Mental Health Counseling and all but dissertation for a PHD in Psychology. I was a counselor for 10 years,  including working with children from the ages of 3 to 18, and have taught psychology courses for the past 20 years including Developmental Psychology courses and courses in Abnormal Psychology and Psychopathology. I have a passion working with teenagers and hope to focus on topics in psychology that I have found my learners to have enjoyed over the years. I am currently a Director of Education and Compliance for an educational facility.
