about me

I work primarily from Gestalt, psychodynamic and attachment perspectives and 

tailor therapy to the needs of the specific client I am treating. I focus on what is happening in the present and explore history as it emerges in context. My style is warm and interactive.  I am transparent about my thoughts and intentions. I am deeply passionate about the work and feel honored that my clients share themselves with me. 

I completed my Masters in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University, Los Angeles in 2000, and have been practicing for over 20 years. I am deeply passionate about the work and feel honored that my clients share themselves with me.

​

The match between therapist and client is critical. We are all human and sometimes we connect better with some people more than we do with others. As therapist and client we will work as a team. In our initial sessions I will invite you to consider whether you feel understood by me, if you are gaining insights through our discussions and if you feel we are forming a connection. I am very happy to make a referral if you think you will work more effectively with another therapist.
