These have been tough times. Tough years.  With the seismic changes we’ve experienced, you may recognize that now is the time to work with a professional. We can help you make changes to live a happier and more peaceful life, to understand what brought you here and how you can create what you want going forward.
 
I have been a practicing psychotherapist for fifty years. Over those years, I have experienced ups and downs in my life and career but what I most cherish is all that I have learned from these experiences. Resilience is the key to managing the challenges we face – both internally and externally.

I work psycho-dynamically with all ages and also have specific training in working with Eating Disorders and trauma from a feminist psychological perspective –looking at  not only the individual challenges, but seeing how society and our culture affect our feelings about ourselves – a holistic approach. 

I’ve also spent much of my professional life starting and running nonprofit organizations. I’ve worked in a variety of settings over the years, with a diverse group of individuals. Most recently, I have been engaged in work focusing on women and aging: looking at the intersection of ageism and sexism.  

Learning and growing never end. I work with clients as young as 10 and as old as 80.
  
I look forward to meeting you.
