The unique qualities, gifts, and developmental challenges of human beings have been my primary interest from undergraduate through graduate and postgraduate studies in Psychology.

        As a Licensed Therapist and Doctor of Education, I offer a unique blend of experience, expertise, and resources to adults, couples, parents, and professionals.            In addition to Cognitive, Solution-Focused, and Psychodynamic Therapies, I am trained in Jungian-based Sandplay, EMDR, Mind-Body, and Brain-Based Therapies.            
         I have specialized training for addressing the unique social-emotional challenges and risks faced by gifted and talented individuals and couples.

         I pursue quality professional training and review research in my fields regularly.  I set high standards for my work with you.
