Taught, trained, and supervised other mental health professionals. Earned APA's Certificate of Proficiency in addicitons. Psychoanalytic and Somatic Psychotherapy. Payment Methods Private Pay ~ Most Private Insurance Plans Languages Spoken English Description Of Practice MY PRIMARY INTEREST in therapy has been in helping people to find and be their true Self. It's like in the commercial: be all you can be. This means looking at who you really are, the relationships you are in, and what stops you from having the life you want. It also means getting help in learning what isn't working, understanding why it's not working, and changing things so your life does work for you. VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME - I give you and your family a place where you can feel safe and where you can honestly and openly talk about what happened and how it still effects you. GAY/LESBIAN ISSUES - I work with heterosexuals and also work with many gay, bisexual, or lesbian people, both individually and in couples. Some people are questioning their sexual orientation and other are sure of it. You will be the one to decide. I will be your sounding board, and your ally. ADDICTIONS (Substances and Behaviors) - You may have difficulty with alcohol or drugs and may need help to evaluate it and what you can do about it. You might ask similar questions about your behaviors as well: online porn, sexual behaviors and compulsions, gambling, spending, TV watching, eating, cutting, or any other thing you do that somehow feels questionable or possibly out of control in you life, including some of the ways you interact with other people. You may even feel like you are addicted to someone, what sometimes is called "love addiction." Many people have found it extremely helpful to talk about many things in their life from a perspective of addiction may add understanding and avenues for change. MIND/BODY - My education and my own therapy have taught me that the mind and body are functionally identical. What you think can affect how you feel, and what you feel affects how think. So, I work at both levels, with people who are interested in doing that. For people who aren't interested in the somatic work, I am happy to stay strictly in a talk-therapy mode. Additional Information I SEE THERAPY as a process of self-discovery: a careful, supportive exploration of how you act, think, feel, and relate to others today and how those all were affected by your life experiences. It is opportunity to grow and develop new and more effective ways to interact and communicate in your relationships. In therapy with me you may gain the awareness that comes from understanding, the freedom from outmoded patterns of acting and reacting, the strength to tolerate life's pains, and the capacity to tolerate its pleasures. The result is what we all want: the ability to feel good about yourself, to enjoy yourself, and to have satisfying relationships with others. I SEE MY ROLE as an ally, guide, and navigator on your journey. I have made my own journey of self-exploration, and I see myself as continuously pursuing that voyage. I can offer support and encouragement when the going is rough, and I can also share in your pleasures and joy in living. Your journey, my help.
