So, what am I like as a therapist?

My patients would describe me as warm, engaging and interactive. I am a therapist who listens actively, challenging and encouraging your growth.

My patients come to me for a range of reasons. They may be dealing with:

• Being trapped in old patterns of behavior

• Being stuck in their lives and relationships, or having difficulty with dating, romance and intimacy

• Issues around sex, sexuality, and connectedness

• Parenting issues, dealing with aging parents, or family members with a chronic illness

• Issues at work

All share the common desire to break through their blocks, even old parental and family blocks, toward a more fulfilling life.

For more than 30 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have been working with adults in individual, couples, group therapy and sex therapy. I am also a sex therapist certified by the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Sex Therapists. I obtained this very specialized credential because emotional issues and sexual issues can be tightly linked, meaning I can evaluate and treat a sex therapy issue from a psychological, medical and health viewpoint.

When necessary, I work closely with physicians and other medical experts. You will always get the best possible care.

I work from an eclectic client-centered approach and draw upon humanistic and psychodynamic theories. I am a mother, a step-mother, and a huge aficionado of rescue dogs (I have three).
