We all want to feel joyfull and fullfilled in our lives and relationships. The 30+ years I have been in practice include running treatment centers for healing child abuse, teaching / college level, national seminars, and training other therapists. I am licensed as both a clinical social worker and an addictions therapist. My experience and training has also allowed me to integrate clinical knowledge and cultural ways of life from elders. I help people achieve change through insight and solutions based in consciousness of internal and external conflicts.

Are you a bright, passionate woman who's struggling to make a transition or take a risk? Perhaps you're sensitive or introverted, feeling confused and uncertain. I mentor artists/writers, coaches/healers who are ready to manifest their full potential; entrepreneurs having a hard time growing their business; and women who are struggling to leave an unhealthy relationship. If you know it's time, but don't understand what's holding you back or why you can't figure it out by yourself, won't you call me? My public radio show: Living From Happiness-www.ksfr.org.

In life, as in my developing therapy practice; self discovery plays a central role. It is my delight to support and nourish the pursuit of self, spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. I look forward to meeting each client at any phase of their unique journey through life, whatever their ethnicity, sexuality or age. I focus on the relationship between therapist and client, endeavoring to provide a safe and welcoming space within which to explore the issues facing each person.

With thirty years of therapeutic experience and training I have developed proven tools & excellent ideas for deep personal transformation. My approach to healing is based upon sound training, professional expertise and personal growth. It's my belief that a therapist must do her own personal work first in order to be an effective partner in healing for her clients. My professional comments and personal story appear in the best selling book, "Motherless Daughters," by hope Edelman. Positive growth occurs in a safe environment. I invite you to experience the safety and comfort I provide.

Depression & Anxiety are natural reactions associated with Crisis. It is my professional/personal belief that in every major crisis - there are two events co-occurring. One, is a perceived threat to the SELF; and two, a crucial point when something begins in one's personal growth. Often - this is an opportunity for deeper, spiritual insight. This is especially true for the COVID-19 pandemic. Another important aspect of therapy is finding someone you feel you can relate to. I have led a full, rich life with my travels & my relationships.

Some sources of emotional pain include conflict (internal and/or external); past and recent wounds, grief, loss, trauma; negative self-talk and beliefs. We work together to understand the source of your distress and improve that quality of your life. I would be honored to work with you.

After over 50 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in settings as diverse as prison and preschool, I have come to the conclusion that the root of most psychological suffering is a discrepancy between who we really are and who we have been expected to become or expect ourselves and others to be. This discrepancy between the "Self" and the personality we develop causes immense suffering within individuals, between individuals and in the culture as a whole. My goal is to help clients find their own truth or "Self" and live their lives from that place.

Forty years as a depth psychotherapist, with wisdom gleaned from C.G. Jung and yogic principles, has given me the skills to help people find their own path to meaning, self-awareness, balance and authenticity. Through careful exploration of memory, fears and dreams, I help clients work toward well-being by helping them understand psychic wounds, abandon outmoded patterns of self-protection, and apply useful strategies for handling the inevitable conflicts of daily life.

Are you feeling stuck in fear or anxiety? Do you see yourself repeating the same cycles or patterns over and over again? Toxic relationships, unhealthy patterns, poor self-care, and feeling like your emotions are in control of you may be some of what you're experiencing. Or are you a woman who struggles with issues around love or sex? This may include addictive relationships, issues with intimacy or sex, or feeling addicted to romance. Perhaps to the point that it's causing stress in other life areas or preventing you from creating a healthy relationship with yourself.

I have maintained a private practice in Clinical Psychology for the past 30 years specializing in problems of adulthood. Treatment of anxiety and mood disorders is a specialty with one third of my caseload comprised of couples experiencing relationship issues. Recently, I transferred my practice to Santa Fe from the east coast and I am currently accepting new patients. My approach to helping is eclectic drawing upon a foundation of theoretical learning from the major schools of psychotherapy and years of training and experience.

Seeking therapy is appropriate when your life circumstances are unsatisfying, if you're having relationship problems, difficulty adjusting to change, or when working to set new directions for your life.

My approach is Solution driven, and relies on developing a trusting, collaborative and caring relationship with each client. I practice depth psychotherapy incorporating non-judgmental listening, guiding you through honest self-exploration- leading towards transformation, balance, acceptance and healing. I've worked for over 40 years as a teacher, public speaker, mediator, and now counselor, bringing experienced problem solving to my work. Having been a troubled teen, a classical musician trained in NYC, performances at Carnegie Hall, and over 30 years with the Santa Fe Opera, I bring a unique perspective to my psychotherapy, not often found in the professional counseling community.

I am passionate about helping individuals overcome limitations and heal their past. Sometimes past trauma can impede us from fulfilling our dreams and ambitions. There are times we may simply feel stuck and need a little nudge and caring support. Many of us use distractions like drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, compulsive video-gaming or shopping to keep from feeling uncomfortable emotions or memories.
