About
In the beginning, I often help people with an immediate problem or crisis. My personal style is warm, supportive and interactive. I often draw from cognitive behavioral techniques, which stress concrete, behavioral change. Gradually, I create a safe space where we can establish a trusting relationship. Some people choose to do some short-term therapy, generally four to six sessions, so we can address a specific issue. Other people see me for longer periods of time. People begin to identify the patterns they want to change. They find the behaviors they want to replace with new ones. Some clients explore the deeper feelings underlying the issues that brought them to my office.
It has been my privilege to see how therapy can make a real difference in peoples’ lives. After a while, people begin to feel better. They describe themselves as “feeling lighter,” or “doing things I never thought possible.” Some people feel totally transformed. Many heal old wounds from long ago and feel freed up, with new energy. People understand themselves better and often see the world around them in a more positive way. They begin to make new choices and practice new behaviors. Their relationships with family and friends improve. Many begin to realize their dreams at last.
As a therapist, I have always had a co-therapist, my own dog! My colleague now is my year-old shaggy brown dog, named Maisie. Maisie is full of energy so at first she brings a lively presence to the room. Later, she settles down and sleeps at people’s feet. Maisie joins us only when invited, of course.

Welcome to my therapy practice. I believe that therapy is a journey towards growth and change. Over the past thirty years, I've had the honor of sharing this journey with adults of all ages, as well as adolescents and children.In the beginning, I often help people with an immediate problem or crisis.
