Therapists in Boulevard Park, Sacramento, CA

I have been a psychologist for 45 years. I earned a B.A. in psychology from Northwestern University in 1967 and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Colorado in 1972. I taught, conducted research and treated patients at Vanderbilt University, where I collaborated with Dr. Hans Strupp, a pioneer in the study of the effectiveness of psychotherapy. I published over 100 scientific articles on the process and outcome of therapy and the influence of sex and race biases in diagnosis and treatment.

My hope is that the safe and supportive environment I seek to create will be a place where you can openly process difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. When you work with me in therapy, I will assist you in finding the tools and skills needed to live your life more effectively. I know that the challenges you may be facing right now can feel really big and overwhelming and I am here to sit with you in your pain and to help you make positive changes in your life, in part by accessing the wisdom and strength you already hold within.

My private practice is tailored specifically for the Equestrian Athlete struggling to reach their potential in and out of the show ring due to mental blocks. I also have experience working with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, self esteem issues, codependency, family substance use and more. I am happy to discuss with you if we might be the right fit for each other REGARDLESS if you are an equestrian or not.
