I
am passionate about working with couples. Part of my passion comes from my
marriage where I found that, in working through the ups and downs, our love has
grown stronger. Confronting relationship challenges has helped me grow. It has
also helped me discover that a good partnership requires an ongoing commitment
to do the things necessary to deepen love.
This has inspired me to encourage
couples to achieve their highest potential in love relationships, and I work
hard to help them attain this. I have a deep desire to understand what makes
intimate relationships successful, and as a result, I’m committed to ongoing
training and learning. Every couple I work with teaches me something new.
I received my Marriage and Family Therapist license in 1980. I focused
my doctoral dissertation on the treatment of couples and consider myself an
authority on relationships. I have extensive training in psychoanalytic and
object relations theory. I received my Masters from Sonoma State University and
Doctorate from the Sanville Institute in Berkeley.
I’ve worked for Sonoma County Mental Health and served as a consultant
for psychotherapists in private practice and several Social Service agencies.
I’ve taught psychology classes at Sonoma State University and the Santa Rosa
Junior College and presented numerous workshops on such issues as relationship
problems, stress, anxiety, and stepfamily struggles.
