PRIVATE PRACTICE
I work collaboratively with clients to help resolve problems in living, to promote emotional growth and facilitate personal and professional success. My therapeutic style is warm, direct and interactive. I work with individuals, couples and families across the life cycle addressing a broad range of issues including:
|
- intimate relationships issues with heterosexual, gay and lesbian couples or with individuals interested in effecting change in their relationship.
- chronic and acute illness including support for those who are ill and their caregivers.
- professional and lifestyle coaching with clients interested in making effective and lasting changes to facilitate success.
|
- anxiety/depression using an artful blend of cognitive/behavioral and insight approaches, in collaboration with psychiatrists for medication as needed.
- interpersonal relationship skills including effective communication, resilience, assertiveness, and work/life balance.
- parenting skills and family communication with traditional, non-traditional and blended families.
