In practice for 18 years as a psychotherapist-social worker, I have helped people whose relationships are out of sync, as well as people with serious mental or physical illness. I have special training with elders and their families. I am an experienced parent coach. I have extensive training in "mind-body" interaction, the ways in which our bodies influence our responses and relationships, and the ways our minds influence our health.

Reminiscence: Therapeutic life review with people nearing the end of life.
Early in life, it is important for our emotional health and growth to look forward, planning for the future. As we age, however, it becomes more important to look back and enjoy the finished product. We need to talk over our accumulated experience, reviewing and reminiscing to make sense of it all, and to come to terms with the choices we have made.
