I have been a licensed psychotherapist for 35 years in private practice and have trained psychotherapists world-wide since 1986.
I have a great deal of experience working with couples and families, parenting, step-parenting, child custody and mediation. I am also a specialist in pre and perinatal Psychology dealing with issues of fertility, pregnancy, birth and bonding (attachment)issues with parents and infants.
As a Developmental psychologist, I believe that we are influenced by events starting at conception and through the first three years of life (based on Object Relations theory).
The focus of my work is body/mind/spirit, using somatic psychotherapy and meditation.In addition to my practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am also a somatic psychotherapist, meditation teacher, and supportive yoga therapist.
I believe we all have the answers we need inside of us, and I gently guide you to a greater connection to your own inner knowing. With that internal connection to our sense of self, we can deal with our everyday problems of living. In these stressful and anxiety producing times, it is essential that we learn to self regulate our nervous systems through mindfulness meditation and breathwork in order to function in a healthy way and strengthen our immune systems.
