I'm an Assistant Professor at a major medical school in Atlanta, and I work as a Clinical Psychologist at the in a busy medical center in Atlanta, GA, where I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for older adults and their families.For several years, I was a Professor of Gerontology (that's a fancy word for the study of older adults and aging), where I taught a course in the Psychology of Aging for a graduate Gerontology program. I recently stopped my role as a professor in this department so that I could bring the Psychology of Aging straight to you.
