He strives to have a rich spiritual life which influences his work with patients.
Rick has forty years of experience in the field of substance use disorders and chemical dependency. He integrates the Tarot in his work with patients as a way to access intuition and the unconscious.
Rick is on the faculty of analysts teaching at the C.G. Jung Institute of New England and is the former Director of Training for the Institute. He is currently ABD in a doctoral program at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis where he is doing his dissertation on the Indian caste system.
He is accompanied each day by his little helpers, Olive, an eight-year-old Lhasa Apso (who insists on wearing these glasses) who has been trained to go to the waiting room to get the next patient and three-year-old Lhasa Apso Odin, named, after the Norse god.
If either are in the way, they are all too eager to go rest in the other room.

He is accompanied each day by his little helper, Olive, his three-year old Llasa Apso, who has been trained to go down to the waiting room to get the next patient. Of course, she only makes the trip if she knows a treat is waiting for her upstairs. That is the deal!
And, if she is in the way, she is all too eager to go rest in her crate.
