Creative and symbolic approaches are a wonderful addition to this work. As a writer and artist, I’m attuned to possibilities for using imagery, archetypal psychology, and art practices as part of people’s therapy, when they are interested. I find working with dreams to be revelatory, often offering signposts or solutions to people’s concerns. In my San Francisco office, I have a large sand tray collection for sand tray work/play.

I have many years of experience helping people with eating disorders. I have a growing interest in working with people who are “neurodivergent.” And I am knowledgeable about cults and high-control groups, how to disengage and recover from these experiences.

I work with individuals and couples, from adolescence on through elderhood.
