I view therapy as a collaborative process that facilitates communication, problem-solving and self-exploration, which leads to lasting change in relationships and life. As a clinical psychologist in practice for over 27 years, I have learned that while no single type of therapy works for everyone, a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving growth and change. We use this relationship to learn about how you feel and behave in other significant relationships. Therapy becomes a place to try new ways of communicating and to develop new ways of seeing things. Ultimately, therapy leads to taking healthy risks in relationships and life.
Areas of specialization include: depression, anxiety, relationship issues, women's issues, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adjustment issues, separation and divorce, addiction and recovery, co-dependency, ACOA, chronic illness, cancer patients and their families, aging, job stress and bereavement.
My approach is varied. I utilize techniques from Psychodynamic psychotherapy as well as Cognitive-Behavioral, Rational-Emotive Therapy and Strategic Family Therapy, depending on the unique situation. I see adolescents and adults in individual, family and couples and group therapy. I also do clinical supervision.
