I am a gerontological clinical social worker, which means I am specifically trained to assist elders and their families with late life transitions and developmental challenges. Our culture believes aging is a "disease" and elders have an illness. This undervalues and underestimates the incredible opportunities and challenges inherent in aging.

My approach to psychotherapy with elders reflects my belief that aging can be a time of vibrant development and new exploration even if it takes place in the context of new or growing limitations.

My services are available to you in your home or in my office; it is up to you. I am a Medicare approved provider and I take some third party insurers. I also provide a sliding scale for self-pay clients. Do not let limited financial resources prevent you from contacting me.

My role as therapist is to support and assist fellow travelers along their journey through the wilderness of life. While each person is unique, presenting individual sets of strengths and challenges, we all walk through this experience together. The path we travel, from the depths of the dark night of the soul to luminous expansion toward self-actualization, is at once terrifying and ecstatic. It is my calling to explore this territory together, bringing to the sacred space of therapy a safe and strong container which empowers you, my client, to chart your own course into life.

Have you been working on yourself for a while but still find yourself hooked by old issues and triggers?

Are you able to intellectually understand your issues but, despite your insight, continue to find yourself repeating the same old patterns?

To help people make the changes they want, I use a variety of proven, effective tools, both traditional and non-traditional because I've found that talking alone isn't enough to heal many issues.

I've been in practice for 40 years and have a warm, down to earth style, which is compassionate and insightful. Clients experience a sense of profound positive release and lightness after most sessions.
