Welcome. I hope you will find what you are looking for in these pages. My expertise includes dealing with day to day stressors or serious and chronic conditions related to trauma and abuse. If you are seeking new ideas to deal with current difficulties, or wish to find release from longstanding historical issues, I will effectively guide you in your process.

I work with adults, age 18 and above. When client's at retirement are challenged with loss of identity, they may discover a fertile opportunity to deepen their sense of self. Lastly, I am fond of working with elders through transitions of aging, the emotional impact of chronic pain, loss of a partner, as well as end of life issues. 

I maintain my skills by engaging in continued trainings, consulting with colleagues whose expertise I respect, and keeping abreast of current information. With 25 years of experience, I enjoy working with adults and elders from diverse cultural groups in individual and relationship therapy.  

An ideal client is one who will entertain the idea of healing even if ambivalent, and who will engage in a therapeutic relationship even if trust has been a challenge in the past. Whether it is depression/anxiety, questions about sexuality or gender, concerns about the normalcy of one's experiences, or myriad complexities of daily life, I invite you to begin or continue your journey in a safe and confidential environment.

I have a strong history in assessment and testing, forensics, individual and couples work. Given the pandemic, I am not offering assessment and testing services at this time. I have worked in several settings, including community mental health, medical clinics, psychiatric hospitals, and rehabilitation hospitals, and with diverse clientele.
