WELCOME

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for more than forty years. I see individuals, couples, and parents with adult children. I also work as a volunteer providing psychotherapy to individuals who are seeking asylum in the US and/or do not have insurance.

I love the process of getting to know someone and, in collaboration with them, understanding the stumbling blocks in their lives. Together we explore possible solutions to the difficulties. I have learned much from my clients over the years. One of the most important lessons is that each of us contains hidden inner strengths. I very much enjoy the process of helping clients tap into the capabilities that have lain dormant, unthought and unrecognized, in their psyches. 

I also enjoy teaching and learning from other therapists, which is why I teach and provide consultation to therapists across the U.S.
