My goal is to provide a comfortable environment to help people "Say Everything". My Special talent is helping people talk freely. I encourage Humor and sometimes even "fun": it can make the seemingly intolerable more approachable.
I have a deep respect for my patients. This work is an honor.
Individual, Group, Couples and Family PsychotherapyMy training as a psychotherapist began a a child, listening as my parents and their friends talked about jobs; marriage; children, aging parents; etc. This led to a lifelong fascination with human relationships and the workings of individual minds and hearts. Home Visits available when necessary.

My education is broad and my work experience varied.

Call me. Let's see if we make a good therapeutic team.
