I am trained in depth psychology in the Jungian tradition. My Santa Fe practice focuses on the process of rethinking one's life as the second half unfolds, including issues of midlife crisis and approaching retirement or, if already retired, finding and fostering a sense of vitality and fulfillment to this most important, likely quite lengthy, and absolutely unique stage in the life cycle. I believe the second half of life presents challenges and opportunities that are quite different from those we face in the first half. This is even more true of retirement as our expected lifespan lengthens.

I help individuals, couples and families to find pleasure in life through creating satisfying relationships and meaningful work.

The most important aspect of my work - and its deepest expression - lies in listening. My job is to "hear" you - to listen for what is being said and what is not, for who and what are in the room, for who and what are absent. What part or parts of you have a voice? What part or parts have been silenced? This deep listening process will lead us to those specific therapeutic modalities most appropriate for your growth and well being - what will best serve you at this stage in your life's journey. I also remain aware of any previous or early wounding that may be preventing you from moving forward or living a more fulfilling life.

Coming to therapy is an act of self-love. Being curious about what makes us feel and act the way we do is the most rewarding endeavor, bringing authenticity, creativity and choices into our lives. Our self-concept and beliefs about the world were formed in infancy and learned in our primary relationships. Unconsciously, these early experiences guide many of our actions in present time. I am passionate about exploring with you old patterns that do not serve you anymore. I support you in cultivating conscious and self-caring responses to the inevitable challenging and painful events of life.

I have a long history of working with children and families. I treat children of all ages and adults. I address attachment issues, academics, oppositional defiance, grief, loss and trauma. This is often complicated and usually requires the involvement of the whole family.

I use a variety of modalities including play therapy which includes sand tray, art and a variety of other ways for self expression.
