I have a family systems perspective, and enjoy working with couples, individuals, teens and families. Some areas that I have specific interest and experience in are:      
 

Women’s issues

Creating a fulfilling relationship, Developing the self, emerging from codependent patterns. Career development, Mid-life Transitions

Improving Marriages, Other Relationships and Communicating More Effectively

  I enjoy working with couples, and offer counseling, and the six week Couples Communication program..

Spiritual Psychology/ Transpersonal Psychology

I was trained at the University of Santa Monica, which specializes in Spiritual Psychology. This is not a religious orientation, but addresses the sources of anxiety, depression, dis-ease, etc. from an existential perspective.  If desired, I offer this perspective to clients seeking such an approach to their therapeutic work.

Effective Parenting

I have significant experience working with parents who need assistance implementing consistency and follow-through with their children. Typical challenges are behavioral problems at school and home, ADHD, depression, and bipolar disorder.

Highly Sensitive People, Adoption Issues, LGBT Sexual Orientation Concerns

  I have a particular interest and knowledge in these areas.
