ABOUT GRETCHEN

I am a certified Jungian Psychoanalyst and a licensed marriage and family therapist and an active member of the International Association for Analytical Psychologists. I have been trained as an Imago Relationship therapist and in systemic family therapy. I have worked in this community with people from across the life cycle starting with children, to families, couples, individual adults and the elderly. My experience in a wide range of settings including community mental health centers, outpatient clinics, hospitals, and in private practice has given me the chance to work with a diverse population. I am an avid gardener, yoga practitioner, reader, movie buff and supporter of the arts.
