I am a seasoned clinician who has worked with adults, couples and families for over 25 years. I believe that increased awareness leads to increased options. Often the work of therapy is about making or repairing connections--interpersonal, internal or perhaps even spiritual. I provide individual adult psychodynamic psychotherapy; couples counseling: marital, pre and post divorce. My clinical work often includes assessment and treatment from a systems perspective. I reserve a portion of my practice to provide a safe and intriguing space for children to express themselves and to be understood by adults. Facilitated parent-child sessions often help. I provide various modalities of treatment including: psychodynamic psychotherapy, family systms work, play therapy; parent-child therapy; parent & co-parent counseling, marital and divorce counseling. I believe that connection preceeds correction and that we parents need to PACE ourselves (Hughes, 2007) when dealing with our children--be playful, accepting, curious and empathetic. I was raised in the Judeo-Christian tradition; challenged by the Eastern traditions and am renewed in the Shamanic tradition.
