I left Los Angeles to return to a doctoral program that had a child psychology track at the University Of Denver School Of Professional Psychology. This program placed the emphasis on clinical skills rather than research and included rotations throughout the city of Denver. Rotations at Servicios de la Raza, a Neighborhood Health Clinic, The Child and Adolescent Program at National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine and as a therapist for Spanish speaking adult patients National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory along with clinical responsibilities at the SPP clinic prepared me for intensive clinic work that I enjoy to this day. Because of my interest in diversity and child health, I chose to intern at the University of New Mexico Child, and Adolescent Multi-Cultural Internship. During my required year of supervision prior to licensure I worked part-time in a rural New Mexican community, and later as the part-time school psychologist at a school in the Navajo nation. I was awarded a doctorate in 1990.
