I want to help you pick up on where your thoughts, feelings and behaviors come from, even if you have never experienced “trauma".

I'm very experienced, dedicated, flexible in terms of days and hours, and able to be both supportive and appropriately challenging when needed. I especially enjoy working with couples and families as I can "hear" all parties and focus on helping each person speak their truth safely and also to listen. Professionally, I have an LCSW, authored or coauthored 4 books, 3 with HarperCollins and W. W. Norton. I've produced dozens of award-winning videos addressing addiction and relapse prevention widely used in treatment and corrections. I also have raised 3 children and served as both a foster- and adoptive- parent. Above all, I have integrity, a depth of experience, and good humor.
