I’m a social worker with 20 years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist in private practice. My expertise is centered around healing from psychological trauma and I’m the founder and director of a busy clinic that was, prior to Covid, based in downtown Washington, DC.
Much of my life has been devoted to being a healer of relationships, which I believe are central to our physical health and are the cornerstone of safe and vibrant communities. In 2015 I published my first book, Love Under Repair, followed by Mindful Marriage in 2017, a mindfulness-based curriculum for relationship enhancement.
In April of 2020 I took a once-in-a-lifetime-during-Covid backpacking trip with my 14 year-old son. Our trek took us rim-to-rim-to-rim, 42 miles, across the Grand Canyon and back. We weren’t due to go until March but the nation was rapidly shutting down and we had prepared for more than a year. We literally got the last permit handed out.
