Hello there! I'm a warm, engaging elder therapist who goes the extra mile: I get involved, I make myself available, I share my thinking, and I don't clock-watch. After more than 40 years in practice - and the telling experiences of an eventful life - I'm likely to be familiar with your predicament. It's reassuring to be treated by an independent-minded therapist who has personally encountered both sides of the professional fence. My acquaintance with trauma attests to the real possibility of overcoming adversity. Finding a resourceful ally makes you feel safe. And practical problem solving is key.
I help with ongoing personal trauma, relationships, and resolving conflict. I see individuals, dedicated couples, parents, and family members at odds with each other. A unique way of talking breaks the logjam. With radically enhanced communication come unprecedented breakthroughs in mutual cooperation.
I am best suited to sincere and unassuming people. Therapy maximizes support but avoids unwanted dependency. We choose the pattern of contact and connectedness that works for you. You're already on your way. And there's no time to be wasted. Come and be heard - and understood - at the deepest level.

While my primary speciality is how to establish, harmonize, and preserve an enduring relationship through all it's phases, and how to resolve natural conflicts of needs, my favourite work is helping sensitive individuals bring out the best in themselves. It's like meeting - and activating - your newly empowered self for the first time. You feel good about you.
