I am a licensed Marriage, Family and Child Therapist with 15 years of experience. I have specialized in working with individuals and couples to build fulfilling relationships. Other areas of specialization include psychotherapy with survivors of abuse and domestic violence and using EMDR and TFT to assist in resolving these traumatic experiences. Developing one's own spirituality is another interest.

In addition to my psychotherapy experience, I spent 20 years as a human resources professional, up to the top executive position reporting to the CEO. As an executive and then a consultant, I coached professionals, executives and teams to overcome career difficulties and to achieve high performance.

My experience evaluating thousands of jobs as a compensation consultant, combined with my psychological background, has qualified me to assist clients in finding fulfilling careers.

My education includes an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Humanistic Studies and an MBA. My experience includes private practice as well as working at the Center for Women's Studies and Services. There I specialized in helping women work through traumatic experiences and in helping individuals and couples build fulfilling relationships. At the Turning Point Crisis facility, I assisted people in stabilizing their lives and helped them start on a new and positive life path.

I work from a self-psychology framework in which I look at you and your situation as unique. Together we determine what methods best suit you and the pace that feels most comfortable. It is often helpful to look at the origin of current patterns, so you can make more life-giving choices in the future. I believe that having a positive therapy relationship is healing.

I am certified in EMDR (beyond the normal Level I & II Training) and have Level I & II training in TFT. I also have specialized training in trauma, domestic violence and self-psychology.
