Personal Statement

My interests and career has been diverse and broad that include work on cultural competence, clinical training, leadership, and underserved populations. These are reflected in my past management roles in directing a community health center, a child guidance clinic, and as dean. I bring together these interests also in my advocacy work and contribution to advancing the profession in my consulting, service, and leadership roles within the American Psychological Association, the federal department of Health and Human Services, and other national and local boards to address such issues as health care reform, health disparities, immigration, mental health and substance abuse service delivery. Within clinical practice and training, I see an emphasis on therapist self-reflection, awareness of bias and difference, and integration of contextual factors of race, ethnicity, gender, etc. as central to promoting therapeutic change in clients.
