I am a Registered Art Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate with over 10 years experience providing individual and group therapy. As a practicing Art Therapist, I have witnessed time and again the tremendous healing power of the creative process, facilitated in a safe yet inspiring setting. In my work I draw inspiration from Gestalt, Existential and Transpersonal approaches to counseling. I am comfortable working with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, groups, and families to assess and treat the following: anxiety, depression, and other mental and emotional problems and disorders; family and relationship issues; abuse and domestic violence; social and emotional difficulties, grief and loss.

A somatic psychotherapist and trainer of actor-singers in New York City since 1982, I still work exclusively with singer's, actors, and those who use their voice professionally in their work. Learning to express yourself authentically, in your God given voice in front of other humans is not always easy- but well worth the time spent. In fact, most people feel that dying would be easier that having to expose oneself in front of an audience.

Unresolved trauma is the source of our panic states that prevent us from being in the state of calm where true emotion is experienced. Our survival muscles, also called the muscles of initiation or emotional muscles, are also the muscles that produce speech and singing. When we are in a state of fight/flight/freeze, we lose access to relaxed elasticity and go into either a hyper or hypo mode.

At People Not Problems, we provide compassionate, effective therapy for individuals and couples, helping you navigate life’s challenges with empathy and expertise. Our practice emphasizes deep, lasting change through experiential and language-based approaches that foster emotional connection and trust. Whether you're seeking help with relational dynamics, grappling with commitment issues, or facing suicidality, we are here to support you. With a systemic focus that avoids quick fixes, we strive to empower you to find clarity, connection, and authentic transformation. Located in South Boulder, we welcome clients ready for meaningful and lasting change.

Are you pursuing a cherished goal, but find yourself feeling stuck? You may have discovered you don't quite know how to get started. Or once started, you have lost your focus and momentum. Or, you may have realized a goal and are wondering "What's next?"

Working with a coach can help you flourish. You learn to tap into your strengths, clarify your goals, be strategic in identifying and deploying your resources. You learn how stay focused and energized so that you make satisfying progress in realizing your goals, while also sustaining your wellbeing. I use evidence-based and energy psychology-based approaches in my coaching. A general life coach, I have special expertise in retirement, adult ADD, dissertation, career, and wellness coaching.

I am able to work successfully with clients who arrive in my office with a diverse variety of reasons for seeking psychotherapy. No matter the situation or circumstances, motivations for seeking therapy, I can help assist in your search for bliss and help you on your journey to healing.

We each have the ability to journey from being stuck to unstuck; from feeling trapped to feeling free; from compromising our values to creating a life with integrity; from being preoccupied in thoughts from the past to creating a life in the present. I am dedicated to helping you navigate through your unique life circumstances and feelings so that you feel your life is authentic, a life in which you will thrive.

I look forward to developing a meaningful connection with you and starting that journey.
