My career has included working at Child Protective Services, Public Health, inpatient and outpatient substance abuse facilities, teen group homes, youth treatment centers, foster/adopt agencies, Los Rios Community College and Chapman University. I traveled as a Trainer of Trainers throughout California and have supervised many interns and newly licensed clinicians.

I have been serving children, teens, adults, couples, and families in my private practice for over forty years. During that time, I have worked extensively with a wide range of therapeutic approaches, including narrative therapy, art-based methods, Jungian and existential frameworks, solution-focused work, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and treatment of complex trauma. This eclectic approach has shaped a steady and nuanced therapeutic style that is relational and person centered.

Through all of this, I’ve become attuned to the quiet burdens that helping professionals carry - the emotional residue, the responsibility, the self-scrutiny, and the isolation that often goes unseen. The decades have taught me a practical perspective and have left in me a deep commitment to the integrity of the helpers who come along side to ease burdens of others.  I am dedicated to providing space for clinicians to be fully human, to integrate their work with their lives, and to deepen their practice beyond what technique alone can offer.
