My primary audiences have been therapists.I have been in private practice for 30+ years. I have specialized in shame reduction, trauma, addictions, depression, bi-polar disorder, and anxiety. My work is primarily with adult individuals.I have also facilitated groups, and worked with couples. I am a published author and poet. I authored the book: Shine the Light of Truth on Shame: Daily Reflections.My work is unique in that I work directly with underlying shame and have developed precise tools and interventions on shame.
