A former client had this to say: “I cannot begin to tell you what a difference you made in my life. Had I not done my work with you, I don’t know that I could have made the changes that your help allowed me to make.”
I am a psychotherapist, licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) by the State of California. The MFT license is recognized nationally.
In my practice I work with adults, both individually and in couples, specializing in: relationships, arts and entertainment, business professionals, addictions recovery, anxiety and depression, and the emotions of aging.
I have offered many lectures and workshops on a variety of topics, and have published two books:
Age Your Own Way; Navigating Changes, Emotions, and Stereotypes, gives a language to the emotions we experience as we get older.
Someone To Talk To: What Really Happens in Therapy and How it Can Work for You, was written to help people who are considering therapy, or who are in the beginning stages.
Prior to opening my practice, I was a Family Therapist in both outpatient and inpatient substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Los Angeles.
I studied at the University of California, Berkeley, and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from The University of California, San Diego. I received my Master’s Degree in Psychology from Notre Dame College, San Francisco, California.
I am a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists and The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.
I have been a working artist throughout my life, and have had numerous exhibitions of my paintings and photographs.
