I want to help you empower yourself with love and self-acceptance. I approach the psychotherapy process in an interactive manner, and I view it as helping create new options. To this end, I integrate spontaneity and creativity in my work. I serve diverse populations, believing that "we are all more human than otherwise." My blog, Musings to Mull Over, accessible via this URL: musingstomullover.wordpress.com/, can give you a flavor of my approach and thinking. I welcome your comments and feedback on the site.
Often the primary impetus to seek help is in the areas of love (relationship difficulties) and work (stress, career confusion, and the like). Self-esteem issues are frequently at the root of these problems. Our work together can help you develop more confidence and effectiveness in navigating these areas of your life.
I've presented and taught on money issues, stress management, and hope. I believe our capacity to grow and change is open-ended throughout the life span, and I see treatment as a way of creating hope if you feel stuck at this point in your life.
