Hello, I am a therapist in private practice in San Luis Obispo, CA. If you are dealing with trauma, I can help. I am trained in EMDR, an eye movement therapy which works quickly to relieve trauma and post traumatic stress. If you are struggling with alcoholism or other addictions, I can help. I have 28 years experience working with people in recovery. I support members of 12 step groups. I also work with people who do not use 12 step groups in their recovery. If you are struggling with chronic illness or recovery from a stroke, I can help. I currently work as a medical hospital social worker and previously worked for 6 years on a stroke rehab unit. Thus I understand the issues facing older adults. I facilitate a monthly stroke support group for stroke survivors and their caregivers. I provide brief counseling and longer-term psychotherapy using individual, couples, and family therapy. My office is in downtown SLO, near the bus transit center, has off street parking, and is accessible for people who use wheelchairs.
