Experience, curiosity and a practical approach — more than three decades working with individuals, couples and families.
Experience, Curiosity & A Practical Approach
I've worked with individuals, couples and families for more than three decades. My style is active and engaged. I listen carefully, ask questions, offer feedback and, when useful, suggest something you might try differently.
My background in family-systems counseling, psychophysiology, biofeedback and neurofeedback helps me look at problems from several directions — including the connections between what we think, feel, do and experience in our bodies.
My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, understand what may be getting in the way and find a more effective way forward.
Where Relationships & Physiology Meet
I began working with biofeedback before becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have spent much of my career exploring the connection between physiology, behavior and relationships.
That work led me to develop Interpersonal Biofeedback and has included research, writing, and professional education in the U.S. and internationally.
