about me

professional experience

I have been helping clients as a skilled clinician for 27 years since beginning my clinical training in 1997.   I became fully licensed  as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of California in 2006.

Prior to this work, I enjoyed a successful career in Health Care and Organization Development from 1976 - 1994.                    

I have been a practitioner and teacher of Tai Chi Ch'uan for 30 years.  I bring a wealth of life experience and mindfulness-based wisdom to my work with my therapy clients.
