My 40 year professional career has spanned a range of human problems from couple's conflict to trauma recovery. I have come to understand that whether a person is grappling with depression or chronic illness there is an opportunity for greater understanding of themselves, and by extension, of what it means to be a whole & complete human being in the world.

The focus of my practice is healing trauma. "Trauma results in a fundamental reorganization of the way the mind and brain manage perceptions. It changes not only how we think and what we think about, but also our very capacity to think.” (Bessel van der Kolk). Brainspotting facilitates access to the trauma so that it can be processed and meaningfully integrated, allowing retrieval of cut-off, frozen parts of self and re-establishing a harmony between mind, body and spirit. Healing, or becoming whole, is not about fixing or curing. It involves a reinterpretation of one’s life through the transcendence of suffering.

Stress, anxiety and depression are common human responses to difficult life events. Current research supports that therapy can help individuals better understand and move through these experiences. In my view there is great potential for healing at any stage in life. I acknowledge that a desire for depth and wholeness is universal - as is the need for meaning. I work mostly with adults, seniors, and family members experiencing adjustment to life changes; including work issues, adult children's struggles, retirement, and loss and grief. ( Please email first and I will contact you sooner than back and forth calls.)

I provide a safe, supportive place for creative problem solving and self exploration.
Each individual has a unique combination of strengths, needs and personal history that need to be identified and used to best achieve their goals.
I view psychotherapy as a tool that can help people see new possibilities and potential in their lives, conquer fears and expand imitations.

For me, the focus of therapy is not primarily to fix disorders or cure diseases; I seek to increase your positive life skills rather than address negative patterns. What happens in the therapy hour is a microcosm of life at large. How you do anything is how you do everything. And so, I give special attention to the actual, to the present moment, in particular your immediate subjective experience. Ultimately, when you become aware of your resistance(s) to pain and return to wholeness and authenticity, my work is done.
