I have a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Rutgers University, a Master Degree in Human Service from Lincoln University and a current appointment as Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Mayo College of Medicine. I have a keen interest in helping people stop smoking. During the past 20 years, as a Quit center coordinator in New Jersey, and Program Director at Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center I have provided support and treatment to more than 2500 people who struggle with tobacco addition I’ve served as President of the Association for the Treatment of Tobacco Use and Dependence and chaired the committee that developed practice standards for Tobacco Treatment Specialists. My research interests include integration of treatment into clinical care and behavioral treatment for addiction treatment.
