I will be speaking at the South Region Luncheon for the Silicon Valley Chapter of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapist on "Special Needs, Special Families on Friday, June 24, 2016 from 11:15 to 1:30 at the Los Gatos Lodge.

This talk is for counselors and therapists who want to be more prepared to work with clients who may have children with disabilities or special needs. If you are interested in attending, you can find more information at the scv-camft website.

Beginning on March 1, 2106, I will be working out of my new office at 1101 S. Winchester Blvd. The office is west San Jose, a few blocks south of the Winchester exit on I-280. I am excited to have single full-time space, instead of splitting my time between Mountain View and Campbell.

After six years as part of the Process Therapy Institute, the quality of the community was a major factor in my choice. The new office is part of a larger suite, Associated Counselors, which offers me the opportunity to consult with a great group of therapists every time I walk down the hall.  I will continue to offer my Process Painting Workshops at PTI and will still be connected to the PTI family.
