About

I work with people who need help with addiction, anxiety, grief, anger, and depression. Are you wondering if you need rehab? I have done over 7000 substance abuse assessments in my career.

If you are a parent struggling to cope with estrangement from your child, I'd be happy to consult with you about working together. I run a program called Parents Living After Child Estrangement (PLACE).

I utilize Solution-Focused, Narrative, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies primarily. My work emphasize practical, specific tools for coping with/healing from distress.

I’ve trained with internationally-renowned therapists, including David Epston (co-author of Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends). Among my peers, I’m considered a “go-to” counselor. The life-changing mentoring and guidance I received from counselors, professors and peers led me to write The Conflict Etiquette Handbook. I am passionate and ready to help.

Please note that my availability is on Mondays and Tuesdays only.
