What makes you different?
John’s extensive experience spans military construction, various industries, and healthcare finance at CTC, giving him a unique perspective in supporting the organization's mission.
I have worked with Community Mental Health Clinics in Denver and Philadelphia with the Chronically Mentally Ill population as a therapist and crisis manager. I moved to NM in 1988 and began working with Belen and Los Lunas school districts as a school psychologist until 2004 while I pursued a doctoral degree from UNM, and graduated in 1995.
I have been with CTC since its inception in 1997, as CEO and Clinical Director. Recognizing a shortage of prescribers in NM, I completed the program at NMSU and started prescribing in 2014. I work with children ages 2-18, their families, treatment and regular foster families and conduct ADHD evaluations for young children.
I belong to the state associations for psychologists and prescribing psychologists and have been president of both organizations, and continue to sit on the Ethics Committee for NMPA.
My two greatest passions, besides my children, are St. Bernards and of course, the KC Chiefs!
