I offer single-session (ad hoc) consultations and ongoing clinical consultation for therapists and mental health professionals.

I have been licensed in CA since 1999 (lic. # LCSW19355). My clinical work focuses on issues related to relational trauma, codependency, perfectionism, setting boundaries, and healthy relationships. I have written extensively about codependency and boundaries on my website, for Psych Central and Psychology Today, and in my latest book (The Better Boundaries Workbook). I’ve also been interviewed on these topics for numerous podcasts and online publications.

Prior to starting my private practice, I worked at several non-profit organizations. This gave me a strong foundation in working with complex and diverse populations.

I have also considerable experience providing clinical supervision. I haven’t kept track of how many people I supervised, but I’d guess it is well over 50. I really enjoy teaching, supporting, and guiding new clinicians as a supervisor. And, while consultation is a bit different, there are similarities that I find fulfilling.

I recently went back to school and completed my doctorate in social work. After 25 years in the field, I thought my training was due for an update! It was a ton of work, but I learned a lot and am grateful to have the opportunity to be a lifelong learner and challenge myself in new ways.
