As a seasoned psychodynamic therapist, I work to facilitate healing and change within a supportive environment. I am insight oriented, relational and interactive in my approach. By tending to the self, within the context of past and present relationships, my clients are able to explore and shift their sense of identity, esteem and life goals. Clearing stress, increasing happiness and life satisfaction are the focus.
Expertise in childhood trauma, depression/anxiety, family alcoholism, relationships, life transitions, grief /loss, cancer, chronic pain and illness. Career issues. Spiritual issues and exploration. Decades of experience providing therapy, coaching, and support to medical providers, mental health professionals and educators.
Therapy and support for clients of all cultural, religious, and spiritual backgrounds. Issues of international work and living, expatriation and repatriation. I am an active member of the Transcendental Meditation TM Health Professionals Association.
