I specialize in anxiety, grief and trauma and use a mind/body approach that will support you in taking action to effect the change you seek. I am skilled at knowing others and facilitating a process that deepens your self understanding and how to make changes in your life that yield new and adequate solutions to problems. Many people come to me after traditional talk therapy, wanting to explore a more interactive and experiential approach. I have a deep respect for the wisdom of the body; and I promote awareness of body, mind and spirit during sessions. Committed clients can work on core issues in an environment offering creativity and safety. I am a licensed clinical social worker and a board certified practitioner of psychodrama, sociometry and group psychotherapy. I have over 12 years of experience supporting individuals and groups.
