I have been a psychotherapist for over thirty years, initially working at a mental hospital and then a counseling clinic for several years and am now in private practice.

Education: MSW, Ph.D., Post-doctoral group therapy certification.

Early on, I was privileged to be in a group therapy class with Irv Yalom, MD, the acknowledged founder of the American group therapy movement. I've been enthusiastic about this modality and have led groups since.

I have taught clinical courses for individual and group therapists, led institutes and workshops at national and regional annual meetings of three group therapy associations and state clinical societies. I'm an AGPA Fellow, a founding member of Certified Group Psychotherapists, past-President of the local group therapy society. For many years I was consultant to the group program at Family Service Association, Palo Alto. I was on the faculty of the Fielding Institute, Santa Barbara. I now provide consultation to group and individual therapists. I am Adjunct Clinical Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and co-lead a training group for psychiatric residents.
