My over 20 years in private practice specialized in working with couples and relationship issues. I also met with individuals if they specifically want help with relationship issues in a broad sense (relationship with self, parents, children, friends, higher power, etc.). Prior to private practice I was the Director of Equinox Counseling Center, an outpatient substance abuse center where we utilized Pia Mellody's trauma model of addiction from the Meadows in Arizona. Pia’s work with codependency is what brought me to specializing in couples work and developmental trauma. I am currently a faculty member of the Healing Our Core Issues Institute and a former faculty member at RLI. I continue to train and mentor other therapists/coaches via phone/video conference in working with developmental trauma and couples.
My diverse background also allows me to offer individual supervision in a broader sense for therapists seeking guidance on tough cases and/or who want to meet their licensure requirements.
