Welcome to my website.  I am a psychologist and educator with over 45 years of clinical experience helping individuals and couples who are experiencing chronic or acute emotional distress, suffer from stress related somatic disorders, or who find themselves living a life without passion or intimacy. Currently I provide clinical supervision and training for health professionals (psychologists, licensed professional counselors, naturopathic physicians) and give public lectures and seminars on issues related to emotions, emotional health, psychotherapeutic practice, Reichian and Gestalt therapy and somatic psychology. In the pages that follow you will be able to find out more courses, trainings and lectures I have offered in the past and training opportunities available at this time.

 

 

Educational Opportunities

1. Clinical Supervision/ Consultation

 

I offer clinical supervision for psychologists and mental health counselors who are interested in developing their skills in and their understanding of psychotherapy from a humanistic, character-analytic and somatic perspective. I am qualified to supervise Oregon and Washington interns seeking licensing as a Licensed Professional Counselor or Licensed Mental Health Counselor  as well as Oregon and Washington psychologist interns. I also offer consultations for therapists who wish help addressing specific clinical issues. 

 

2. Training in Somatic Psychotherapy:  

I offer various formats for training in the practice of somatic psychotherapy for psychologists, social workers, mental health counselors, and other health professionals.  In person trainings take place here in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington, though due to COVID all trainings are currently held via the web.  Practitioners throughout the US and internationally are most welcome.  Click on the tabs "Contemporary Orgone (Reichian Therapy) Training Program" and ""Current and Upcoming Trainings, Seminars and Talks" to the left, for more information.
