I have more than 30 years experience working with families, adults and couples. I focus on paying attention to the patient's needs as to what they want to address and accomplish. I offer short and long term treatment as appropriate. I encourage people to practice things we discuss after sessions to maximize gains. Identifying people's strengths and identifying internal and external resources as a major focus. My experience includes psychological testing, chemical dependency treatment and people exploring stages of change and transition from work related stressors, marital problems and relationship challenges.
I have trained and practiced using multiple therapeutic modalities including mindfulness practice(over 40 years), cognitive behavioral therapy, assertiveness skills, existential psychotherapy and DBT. I have worked for many years with clients from 5 through elders in their 80's in private practice, non-profit agencies and Kaiser Dept of Psychiatry.
My long term practice of meditation combined with many years of psychotherapy across the age spectrum allows me to draw upon wonderful resources to help promote acceptance and growth with patients. I am inspired by the bravery of patients engaging in this journey
