Practice Information

Are you finding that your relationships aren’t working so well? It can be your relationship to yourself (just not feeling good about your self), your relationship to work (such as difficulties with co-workers or a boss), or your relationships with your family and/ or partner or friends. I believe that we are always striving to move towards personal growth and health. Our work is to remove these blocks with compassion and understanding so that you can achieve the changes that you want to make. My style is an interactive one with warmth, support, insight and humor.

Bio:

My 33 years’ experience providing psychotherapy in San Francisco and Marin County creates a background against which I can tailor treatment to your individual needs. Working collaboratively with you in reaching your short term or longer-term goals to achieving greater satisfaction is essential. My practice includes children, adolescents, couples, families and individual adults. The areas in which I have experience and success are: anxiety, depression, ADHD, (both with children and adults) relationship problems, trauma, drug and/or alcohol abuse, anger problems, grief and loss for adults and children, diverse clients, and academic problems. I provide both brief and long-term therapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as family and couples therapy. I utilize a variety of techniques such as EMDR for trauma, critical stress debriefing, and play therapy. I also have extensive training, experience, and success working with couples who want to learn more effective communication skills and to be happier in their relationships. With a background of training in bodywork, EMDR for trauma, and more traditional psychodynamic therapies (looking at your childhood experiences and how they may relate to your present conflicts), I utilize an integrative approach using whatever best fits the person or situation. My work with children and families has been extensive. This includes children’s behavioral or school problems, families dealing with a challenging adolescent, increasing parenting skills, and families seeking to work on general or specific issues. I have supervised psychotherapist trainees in the Integral Counseling Program at the California Institute of Integral Studies and the Center for Transpersonal and Holistic Counseling at JFK University. I have been on the board of directors for the Bioenergetic Society of Northern California since 1981, having served as President, and am presently Vice President.
