About Me:
My interest in psychotherapy began while I was working in a home for children who had been
removed from their families. I was impressed by how strongly children's psychological development
can be damaged by emotional trauma. I was equally impressed by how therapeutic intervention
improved the functioning and sense of well being of each family member. Throughout graduate school
and for several years thereafter I studied and specialized in family therapy. I had also completed
a two-year training program in Gestalt therapy, and over the years I became increasingly interested
in individual therapy, and studied Jungian psychology, trauma recovery, personality disorders and
hypnosis. At present I greatly enjoy my work with individuals, and also my work with couples and
families. I am committed to the ongoing examination of the healing process through continued
education and professional development. I continue to learn most from the individuals and families
who are willing to share their life stories and struggles with me.
