About Me
I have over 30 years of experience working with a broad spectrum of patients. My areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, grief and loss, addiction, eating disorders, life stage transitions, oppositional teens, parenting, relationship conflict, communication and finding more meaning in life. With compassion and insight, I provide practical feedback to help clients effectively address and understand their personal challenges and difficulties.
In addition, I specialize in dream analysis and interpretation to help individuals to understand blind areas and access their true potential.
In my professional life, I have presented and taught in the areas of Jungian theory and dream interpretation, shadow aspects of the psyche, depression and anxiety. I also supervise, teach, and provide therapy and analysis to training therapists.
