Since 1988 I have been teaching, supervising, and consulting to therapists in the area of family systems theory. I have presented on the local and national level on many topics related to individual and family relationships. From 1988-2000, I was on faculty of The Menninger Foundation where I taught and supervised in their marriage and family therapy training program. Since 2000, I have been co-director of ongoing clinical seminar for area therapists in Bowen family systems theory.
