About
I am an accomplished psychotherapist with over 30 years of clinical experience. Also I am "certified" in family therapy, having obtained a post-masters degree in that field. Finally I am certified in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems therapy which I use extensively to treat trauma, phobias,and self-sabotaging behavior and thinking. In addition to operating my own private practice in Pennsylvania until 2015, I was full time faculty at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for 19 years and clinical faculty at the University of Pittsburgh and Penn State Medical schools for 10 years.
I have a passionate interest in treating traumatized patients and consider myself an expert in this area. I had the privilege of obtaining close supervision of my EMDR work for several years from internationally acclaimed psychiatrist and cognitive neuroscientist, Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, author of the Instinct to Heal.
I consider my work a spiritual vocation. Although I have helped many individuals and families over the years, so many of my patients have become my heroes as they meet the challenges of psychotherapy to become their best selves.
