Professional Affiliations

National Association of Social Workers

I have supervised interns & graduate students from The Psychotherapy Institute, Alliant University, JFK University, Wright Institute, UC Berkeley School of Social Work, California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco State, and others.

I have more than 30 years experience as a psychotherapist, working with individuals, couples, families and groups of all ages. My work is based on relationships‑‑both past and present‑‑and can be useful at any stage of life.

I am interested in and have worked with clients with diversity issues, such as BPOC, LGBTQ+, and disability.

My background in somatics, mindfulness meditation and activism enrich what I bring to the therapy process.
