I offer individual and couples psychotherapy, and maintain a solo private practice in Pennington, New Jersey.   I took a big leap when I moved from Virginia to New Jersey nine years ago, and am very happy in my adopted state (as long as the winters aren't too cold).  

I have over twenty-five years of experience in the provision of counseling services.  I hold a master’s degree in counseling, am licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey and Virginia, and am also a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC).

Previous work experience includes inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment for adults, adolescents and their families, medical and vocational rehabilitation, career counseling and job placement, employee assistance programs, domestic violence programs, and behavioral case management with insurance companies.  I have consulted with businesses on a range of mental health issues, and have offered workshops to professionals and the public on a variety of topics.
