I'd like to welcome you to my website and introduce you to my professional services. I've been a clinical social worker for almost 40 years, having been catapulted into the field following an unexpected opportunity to organize a crisis shelter for runaway youth in 1969.
I have developed a private psychotherapy practice working with individuals, couples, families and groups, ages preteen to seniors. I spent close to 20 years as a Faculty/Field Advisor for Smith College School for Social Work, overseeing graduate student internships in the Los Angeles area. Also for Smith, I facilitate an online practicum for supervisors around the country who are enhancing their clinical supervision skills. Wearing a slightly different "hat", I specialize in divorce issues as a mediator, collaborative divorce coach and co-parenting specialist.
