Life is full of challenges that generate varied degrees of stress, anxiety and depression, even substance abuse. Challenges may include: Personal and family relationships, finances, career, illness and loss of creative engagement with your self and the world. Psychotherapy can offer time and a special place for self discovery, reflection, revitalization, resilience, insight, empowerment and access to your creativity, creative expression and creative living. Our lives can be what we imagine and want them to be! We can develop our active imagination to envision a life of purpose, meaning and the joy we are meant to have.
I trained at NYU & UCSF Medical Center, LPNPI. I work with life span developmental issues, adolescence through adulthood & aging, with a focus on optimal development, active imagination, relational issues, and longevity planning. I work with culturally diverse individuals, couples and families, in a private clinical & consulting practice.
I enjoy work with children & families to foster rich warm environments and academic achievement. My focus is on development and creative engagement with self and life. I am in private practice part time, with a full time university appointment. I teach courses in psychopathology, ethics & laws in psychotherapy, African American cultural history & psychology.
