Overview
I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a life-long artist. I am trained and skilled in a variety of creative therapeutic modalities, which include: expressive arts therapy, sandtray, psychodrama, dream work, play therapy and Grove metaphor work. I have also been trained in Gestalt and Somatic Psychology. A life-long meditator, my sessions may also include mindfulness and awareness practices.

I am an internationally certified EMDR therapist and consultant, and facilitate in trainings throughout the United States. In addition to EMDR therapy, I offer consultation to individuals and groups. I find great pleasure in helping therapists develop their EMDR skills in order to enhance personal mastery and to better serve their clients. I offer Attachment Focused consultation as well at general practice issues.

I have been in private practice working with individuals, couples, and families for 30 years as well as leading workshops, teaching graduate school, and presenting at conferences. Building on a solid foundation of traditional therapeutic technique and intuitive wisdom, I use dynamic and creative approaches to move beyond the realm of cognitive insight. Insight is not enough; understanding needs to reflect itself in one's being and echo throughout one's life.
