Thank you for visiting my website! Here's some information about my background and my practice.

Training and Experience

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience in the mental health field, in several psychiatric settings and in private practice. I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from Boston College in 1988. My other training includes postgraduate studies in alcoholism treatment at Boston University, Gestalt Therapy training at the Gestalt Institute of New England, and training in Sandplay practice.

About My Practice

In addition to my conventional training, I have been involved with intuitive and spiritual development since childhood. Over the years, I have designed insightful approaches to healing that focus on process, engage creativity, and seek to integrate mind, body, emotion and spirit.My therapeutic approach integrates elements of Gestalt Therapy, traditional psychotherapy and Jungian approaches based in contemporary shamanism. While my practice includes individual, couples, group and family therapy and addresses issues such as personal growth, relationships, loss and transition, anxiety and depression, my specialty is deep healing work of issues related to childhood loss and trauma in both children and adults. This includes for some of my clients, the use of Sandtray Therapy and mindfulness meditation. My shamanic perspective has been effective in helping to reveal the inner patterns and connections underlying outer events. It works therapeutically with stories, fairy tales, symbols and metaphors to help people alter their perception of problems and identify new possibilities in a way that will help prompt positive life changes. My interests in personal growth, spirituality and culture are expressed in my poetry and writing as well as my professional work.
