I want to help you empower yourself with love and self-acceptance. I approach psychotherapy in an interactive manner, and I view the process as one of helping create new options. To this end, I integrate spontaneity and creativity in my work. I serve diverse populations, believing that "we are all more human than otherwise." My blog, Musings to Mull Over, accessible via this URL: musingstomullover.wordpress.com/, can give you a flavor of my approach and thinking. I welcome your comments and feedback on the site.

We often need to mourn the past before moving ahead; I specialize in working with people who have lost a parent early in life. A licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years experience, I work with individuals and couples. I also teach and supervise other clinicians.

I've presented and taught on money issues, stress management, and hope. I believe one's capacity to grow and change is open-ended, so I see treatment as a way of creating hope for those who have become bogged down on their path.
