I have been licensed since 1996, and in full time private practice since 2003. I work with a wide range of individuals and couples.
I strongly believe that the challenging work of real personal growth is best accomplished in an atmosphere of safety, caring and support, and am dedicated to providing this for my clients.
I trained in Relational Gestalt Therapy with Erving and Miriam Polster in San Diego, and later with the Pacific Gestalt Institute in Los Angeles. This is a powerful experiential and process oriented approach that is highly effective in working with PTSD and early trauma.
I have experience working with adult survivors of molest and other forms of child abuse, as well as with adult children of alcoholics.
I have also trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples with Sue Johnson, and took the EFT externship with Sue in 2014.
I work with couples trying to save their relationship, and also with divorced couples trying to learn to co-parent effectively for the sake of their children.
For those with insurance, I am able to provide you with an appropriate billing statement to assist you in getting reimbursement from your insurance company.
