As a licensed clinical psychologist, when I was on the faculty at the University of Chicago Department of Psychiatry, I published or presented over 80 papers on psychology-related topics. I am also an author of Overcoming Anxiety. In my psychotherapy practice, located in N. Charleston, SC, I draw on various techniques to help you find solutions that can work for you. I bring expertise and a fresh set of eyes; a therapist who can be there for you without any agenda. I have occasional evening and weekend appointments, and work with individuals, to help diagnose, understand and treat many problems. I see clients by appointment only.
PTSD and trauma, eating disorders -- especially bulimia, depression and anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, and interpersonal problems are among the challenges brought to me by my individual clients. I I also see couples and families in crisis, and work to help divorcing families figure out the best plan. work collaboratively with my clients
Skilled in a variety of different modalities --
able to see clients rapidly when in crisis --
Ericksonian hypnosis and metaphors can be helpful with pain control, grief, and other hard to manage problems --
A fresh set of eyes, I am a therapist who is there for you, without an agenda.
