I graduated with a B.A. in ’94 and an M.A.* in ’97 from Salisbury. I then went onto get an M.S. and Psy.D. in clinical psychology from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.”
What are you currently up to? I am a clinical psychologist and on medical staff at Ashley Addiction Treatment Center in Havre de Grace, MD. I also have a private practice in Elkton, MD. Formerly, I had been with Dover Air Force Base and Union Hospital of Cecil County.”
What path did you take to get to where you are now? I was uncertain what I desired to do with my B.A. in psychology and knew I was interested in the clinical field. I decided to attend SSU for my master’s degree, and once I was enrolled in that program, it became clear that I wanted to be a clinical psychologist. What was one highlight about your time in the SU Psychology Department that stands out? I recall the opportunity to establish good relationships with the faculty, and once I entered graduate school, it was more of a mentor relationship, particularly with Dr. Tali Hoenigmann-Lion.
What do you know now that you wish you had known as a student? I now know and believe that the roadblocks that come into your life are opportunities to grow and advance yourself into areas that you may have never thought of or imagined.
Where do you see yourself in five years? I plan on continuing my work at Ashley Addiction Treatment Center and my private practice. I do supervise graduate students and plan on continuing with that practice, as well. * The Psychology Department used to have a graduate program. |
