Since 1985, I have supported individuals, couples and groups in using mind-body approaches to face and resolve a variety of issues. I am committed to “walking the talk” of the practices I share with others, having had personal as well as professional experience with:
- Depression and Anxiety
- Career and Life Transitions
- Grief and Loss
- Body Image and Compulsive Behaviors
- Long-term Relationship as well as Thriving Solo
- Life-Work Balance and Stress Management
- Shifting from Self-Criticism to Self-Acceptance
Traditional medical training (Yale, Mills, UCSF) and decades of study in complementary approaches have nourished a passion for integration, which I bring into each session, with focus and playfulness, persistence and flexibility, depth and breadth:
- Ph.D. in Psychology and Somatic Counseling
- Certified Master Coach, Interaction Associates
- Nonviolent Communication Collaborative Trainer
- Registered Physical Therapist, EFT Practitioner
- Certifications in Diversity Leadership, Myers-Briggs
- Member of WingIt! Improvisational Performance Ensemble
- Additional studies in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Mindfulness practices, Enneagram, Somatic Experiencing and the Hakomi Method
In addition to my private practice, I also consult with organizations committed to bringing integrative approaches to their leaders and teams. Recent clients include Global Fund For Women, Ms. Foundation and American Rights at Work.
