Practice Information

I have 24 years of clinical experience working with adults and families, specializing in adolescent psychology and women's issues. I am also trained in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a highly effective model for helping parents deal with disruptive behavior disorders in young children. My clinical specialty is trauma (sexual trauma in particular), and mood disorders. My theoretical orientation is humanistic, but I use many cognitive therapy tools and mindfulness-based techniques as well. Although I address the problem that brings clients to see me, I focus also on identifying each client's strengths and using those strengths to address the challenges they face.

Bio:

I am a native of Eastern Pennsylvania, but have been in Southern California since 1988, with 2 years (1999-2001) working in the Arctic region of rural Alaska with Alaskan Natives. I have spent the majority of my professional life working with children suffering from abuse/neglect, adults recovering from trauma, and working toward empowering women to achieve the most from their lives. I have worked for County mental health systems in San Diego and Ventura counties, tribal agencies (Alaska), and the Federal Government (Veteran's Administration and Indian Health Services), where I was fortunate to be a part of the healing process for a widely diverse group of clients. I have built programs in many of the jobs I have held, most especially as Director of the Holistic Health Program at Sherman Indian High School, a 100+ year old boarding school for Native American/Native Alaskan youth in Riverside, CA.
