About me
Before moving to Amsterdam, I worked as a therapist in the San Francisco Bay Area for fifteen years. I received my Masters in Social Work from Simmons College School of Social Work and my Bachelor of Arts from Bates College.Â
In my private practice, I treat expats adjusting to life in a foreign culture with a focus on problems in relationship,depression, stress and anxiety symptoms to trauma survivors, work/life balance, divorce and separation as well as grief and loss.Â
Across all of these specialties, I work closely with people striving to actualize positive changes in their lives. My approach is client-centered, relational and solution-focused with a foundation in depth work so that positive change may be attained in an integrated and sustained way

n my experience as psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker, so many of the pivotal moments we struggle through in our lives can be nearly impossible to navigate without help. And the need for insight-oriented, depth and solution-focused as well as cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy has never been higher. My particular style is often a composite of many different therapeutic modalities, what is known as the eclectic approach.
