What is unique about me as a therapist?
- I have practiced as a social worker since 1980 and as a therapist since 1986.
- I am a recovering food addict and workaholic who has worked the 12 step program and can help others work this Recovery program. I am a successful artist who can help others overcome blocks to their creativity.
- I have experience working with people who have experienced severe chronic trauma, including people with multiple personalities and dissociative disorders. For over 10 years I attended a trauma study group monthly where therapists discussed their hardest cases, had a large library of audio files about trauma, and sponsored workshops.
- I have personally experienced having chronic fatigue syndrome, chemical sensitivities, food allergies and fibromyalgia for over 25 years. I am much healthier now but I understand people who suffer some chronic serious health problems.
- I have experience working with people with substance abuse and problems. I have knowledge of eating disorders and resources to help people return to a healthy way of eating.
