Public Safety Psychology

Law Enforcement, Fire Service, EMS, & Dispatchers

Although I see clients from all walks of life, I do have specialized expertise in public safety psychology. Largely through my association (since 1988) with Focus Psychological Services, I am well aware of the unique demands of public safety careers. I am honored for having the opportunity to assist the men and women (and their family members) who endanger their own wellbeing to protect my family and all citizens. I work with local law enforcement (including Psychological Services - San Diego Police Department) and federal law enforcement (Employee Assistance Program - United States Department of Homeland Security; United States Department of Justice). I also work with numerous fire service, emergency medical, and dispatch agencies.
