​             As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW),  I have practiced psychotherapy for over
                        30 years.  I completed the MSW degree and graduate internships at Syracuse University in 1990.
                        Post-graduate training  included 7 years of supervised clinical experience in a Sexual Assault                                          Treatment Center and an Outpatient Counseling setting.  I have maintained a robust
                        private practice in Charlottesville, VA since 1996. Additionally, I teach the Mindful Eating Class
                        in the Mindfulness Center at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and guest lecture in the   
                        graduate counseling program at Eastern Mennonite University.

                       Areas of expertise:  Depression,  Anxiety,  Eating  Disorders,  Trauma,  Grief/Loss,
                        Life Changes/Transitions (e.g. parenthood, relocation, marriage, divorce) and                                                                      College/Graduate Student concerns. I am trained in EMDR and have extensive training
                                                                                                   and experience in the treatment of disordered eating.

                                                                                                   I am an experienced practitioner of Mindfulness Meditation and currently serve on the

                                                                                                   Mindfulness is foundational in my work with clients.
