I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in individual, couples and family psychotherapy. A long-time member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, I am also a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I am trained in Attachment-Focused EMDR and am able to provide EMDR by Telehealth as well as in person.
I have been in private practice for over thirty years, working with a broad range of clients. Among my areas of expertise are depression and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief counseling, couples and family therapy therapy, issues related to chronic illness and parenting strategies.
I have presented at workshops and to general audiences on topics ranging from effective parenting to the social and emotional needs of gifted children. I have also presented on adjustment issues that accompany divorce and widowhood and completed a program in Post-Combat Behavioral Health through Alliant International University.
I am a practical and interactive therapist, providing support and feedback so that clients may resolve present problems and unhealthy patterns of behavior. I use a variety of approaches and tailor each treatment plan to the particular needs of the individual client.
