About Me

I am a catalyst, helping people move from being stuck to unstuck.

After receiving my master's degree in psychiatric nursing, I began working as a therapist in an outpatient clinic while studying family therapy at the Family Institute of Chicago. I went on to teach psychiatric nursing at Rush University, then moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where I worked in a community mental health clinic. During that time, I also began a private practice of individual and family therapy. Since 1982, I have been exclusively in private practice.

I highly value personal as well as professional development and have attended a multitude of classes, seminars, workshops, and trainings over the years. Thus, my background is eclectic and integrative. I’ve had training and experience in traditional and non-traditional forms of psychotherapy and healing, such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, brief-solution focused therapy, and family therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), hypnosis, gestalt, imagery, behavior modification, cognitive behavioral, spiritual, and transpersonal therapies, humanistic and experiential therapies, somatic therapy, stress reduction, ego state therapy, inner child work, energy therapies, breathwork, positive resourcing, AEDP, attachment, & family of origin work.
