I have had a long career as a psychotherapist and have always been passionate about this work. Over the years, I have dealt with most problems that clients bring to therapy. I believe the foundation of meaningful therapy is a correct diagnosis, careful listening, and a strong commitment to work together. My style is empathic, optimistic, and client-focused. Therapy needs to start with you. You are worthy of support and compassion. Throughout therapy, I will try to support you by identifying your strengths and encouraging you to be hopeful. I believe growth and change are possible at all stages of life.

I lived in New Mexico for many years in a community that was home to a diverse range of cultures. That experience taught me about the wisdom and rituals of other cultures. I learned to approach psychotherapy from a holistic perspective and to truly appreciate the healing process.

Throughout my career, I have served as a clinical supervisor and teacher, supervising therapists in training and teaching courses in diagnostic assessment, clinical methods, treatment processes, attachment and trauma, and the treatment of personality problems.
