Education

Highest Degree Earned: Masters
Discipline: Counseling Psychology

I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology with Emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I have a specialty as a Certified Practitioner of Psychodrama, Sociometry and Group Psychotherapy. I have also received extensive formal training in Interpersonal Neurobiology, Gestalt therapy, dreamwork, music-centered psychotherapy, and energy psychology, and I intersperse techniques from these modalities with traditional talk therapy depending on individual needs.
Additionally, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance from the New England Conservatory, and draw on my experiences as a professional solo, chamber, and orchestral musician when working with clients.

Professional Focus

For me therapy is a creative, collaborative process. As a musician and improv actress as well as a therapist, I approach my work with clients artistically. There is room for you to explore, for mysteries to be revealed organically, for your innate creativity to be our trusted guide. I will work with you as the unique human being that you are, not as a "consumer" of services. I work with folks on all kinds of issues: depression and anxiety, grief and loss, career change, performance anxiety, personal and work relationships, getting to know your authentic self, to name a few. I also love working with couples and facilitating groups. Feel free to contact me by phone or e mail to see if I am the right therapist for you.
