I've been a psychotherapist for 35 years since graduating from UC Berkeley in 1971 with a Master's Degree in Psychiatric Social Work .  My practice has included individuals, couples, families and groups from different populations who were seen in a variety of settings (family service agencies, country mental health clinics, inpatient psychiatric units, hospital settings, an HMO, as well as in my private psychotherapy practice). In addition, I have developed intern training programs, supervised M.S.W. interns, and have been a consultant to teachers and nurses in conflict resolutions.

As a strong advocate of postgraduate continuing education, I helped found the Berkeley Psychotherapy Institute in 1971, serving as Education Director for one year. My advanced training is in brief and long term psychotherapy, martial and family therapy, PTSD, and working with blocks to creativity.

Since taking an early retirement eight years ago, I've devoted most of my time to expanding my private practice and pursing my interest in theatre. Over the last fourteen years, my love of theatre has progressed from acting to directing, and teaching acting students the skills and techniques of acting on stage. Issues of shyness, performance anxiety, fears of being assertive/aggressive, fears of failure and/or success, and various blocks to creativity are all aspects of life, whether on stage or off. My clinical experience enables me to psychologically understand these fears, unearth the base of them, and develop tools for individuals to move beyond them.
