Self Statement:
"I have advanced post graduate training and over twenty years of experience as a Psychiatric Social Worker, therapist and supervisor. Caring, empathetic and professional treatment is tailored to the individual or couples needs. I believe we all have the resources available to deal with life's challenges but that they have to be tapped at times of need. I truly enjoy working with individuals and couples and believe that becoming a therapist is a calling. I believe this shows in my work. If I cannot help you I can refer you to someone who can.

I have a great deal of training and experience, psycho-dynamically, cognitively, EMDR, couples work, Mindfulness and Meditative practices, etc. The key in choosing any therapist is their ability to listen. I am able to really listen on many levels and all interventions whether reflective or practical are informed by this.

In addition to individual work, I run a "Facing Fears" time limited group which combines meditative practices with group therapy. An excellent group for those suffering from anxiety, depression, and self esteem issues. Couples therapy utilizes techniques I developed that go beyond communication and skills work and deal with the conflict many experience."
