Areas of Expertise:
Clinical Focus:My clients are adult men and women with a wide variety of issues; I have in depth experience with childhood sexual and physical abuse, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, women's issues, domestic violence, trauma and disassociation and transpersonal growth.I have found EMDR to be particularly useful in treating trauma and helping survivors of abuse travel a shorter, less painful and more thorough therapeutic journey. Choosing The Right TherapistChoosing the right therapist for yourself is essential. Good therapy can happen in an empty room with a box of tissues; it's the relationship between the therapist and client that matters. You ought to feel initially comfortable and emotionally safe with the therapist. Equally important is your sense that this person has something to teach you and can challenge you to learn about yourself. A competent therapist has the skill and knowledge to facilitate meaningful change. Find someone who you like and who can also guide you through the changes you want to make in your life. Please inquire about my free initial interview designed to assist clients in shopping around for the right therapist.Personal Commitment Vs. Cost ContainmentIn the current climate of cost containment in all areas of health care, HMOs have become notorious for regulating the length and kind of treatment therapists can provide. I make a personal commitment to each person I work with, and I make all treatment decisions based what is best for the client. I do not shorten or end therapy because of financial constraints. Arrangements can always be made. I will work with your HMO or insurance company to help you get your benefits; adjusted fee for private payment is also available.ArticlesThe following is a selection of short articles and excerpts from articles I have written for my clients:
