About Me

I have over 25 years experience as a psychotherapist. I have extensive training and experience helping survivors of child abuse and neglect to overcome the obstacles from the past. I have particular expertise helping child sexual abuse survivors to heal. My experience includes helping with a broad range of traumatic incidents, such as car accidents, rape, assault, bank robberies, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters.

In addition to trauma, I help working moms to balance career goals, family responsibilities and self-care. I also help people with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) to focus their energies more productively and effectively in order to achieve greater success in their lives.

In my work with children and adolescents, I am experienced with issues related to separation anxiety, school phobia, depression and bullying, as well as hyperactivity and behavior problems. I also help individuals, couples and families to deal with issues related to sexuality and religious differences.
