I earned my Master’s degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado in 1984 and have trained in many different models of therapy since then. This includes mindfulness, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, brief solution-focused, narrative, strengths-based, systemic family therapy, motivational interviewing, and more. While I am skilled in many different methods, I take an integral or integrative approach that knits them together and uses them in a way that I feel will be of most benefit to each unique individual.

Additionally, for 5 years I served as Executive Director for Windhorse Integrative Mental Health, Inc. in Northampton, MA in the US. http://www.windhorseimh.org/ Windhorse is a US nonprofit organisation that provides compassionate, home-based, whole-person care for those struggling with major mental health issues. This experience has given me understanding and many useful insights for working with people who aspire to fulfil leadership roles.

In May of 2008 I relocated to London from the US to marry a native-born Londoner. In September of the same year I opened my private practice. In addition to my private work, I am a tutor at the Minster Centre, which has been the leading institution in the UK for training in integrative psychotherapy since 1978. I have taught a “Foundation Course in Theory and Skills”, as well as a course on “Diversity” for second year students. In addition, I have facilitated two different Experiential Training Groups. Currently I facilitate 3 supervision groups for students who are seeing clients as part of their training.
