I have been a therapist for 35 years. I offer psychotherapy without the psycho-babble, freeing people of any age from hang-ups, inhibitions, stuck relationships and repeating patterns.

 

I am known for my warmth and humor, my capacity to be direct, and my heart-felt attention to your own experience and concern for your own needs.

​

Most of my clients are grown-ups dealing with life problems made more difficult by the echoing pain of difficult childhoods. Bad things happen to good people: with grace and support, we can recover.

 

If you suffer with trauma, addiction, family strife, or chronic health problems, you will get effective and respectful help here.

My experience working with people in family therapy and in therapy groups has taught me this: Your investment in time and energy makes the change happen.

 

I am here to help you take risks safely, focus energy wisely, and make best use of the time you have.

 

If you meet with me in person you can have the added comfort of a lovely golden doodle named Lola. She is affectionate - and hypoallergenic. She will greet you at the door, remember you with love, and sit with you in laughter and tears.
