I generally think of myself as a "licensed psychologist and free range writer."

I earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Minnesota, and have practiced in that state as well as California and Vermont. I’m currently a licensed psychologist in Vermont (where the rules say I should refer to myself as a “psychologist-doctorate” so there, I did.) I’ve worked in clinical settings including state psychiatric hospitals, medical settings, outpatient mental health clinics, and private practice; I’ve been a graduate faculty member in a doctoral clinical psych program, have mentored lots of therapists, and have additional training in fields including psychoanalysis, organizational consulting, hypnosis, and so on. I’m the author of two swell books you’ll want to read: The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Enhancing Your Social IQ, and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Phobias. I’ve also completed one novel (a psychoanalytic murder mystery) which will be coming out shortly, and am working on a book on the self-treatment of depression, and some more novels and blogs.

I enjoy hiking, stacking wood, road trips, learning new things, running on country roads in Vibram Five-finger shoes, fires in the stove in the winter, nature, maple syrup season and anything to do with Vermont, and my wife Skye, whose judgment and advice informs lots of my work.
