I have been in practice for over 35 years. I weave my Psychotherapy to suit the person that I am working with. Trained in numerous modalities, I respect and work with the psycho-socio-biological and spiritual parts of the person. Developing the therapeutic relationship and cultivating trust are primary in my work with my clients. Intuition, Perceptiveness and Energy Fields guide me as well. My strong interest with Trauma Work comes from my belief that we all have been traumatized in different ways. Being in the womb, leaving the womb and the birthing process are the beginnings of trauma.
During our first session, we go over administrative issues, our expectations re Therapy, the process of Therapy and the Therapeutic Relationship . The majority of the session is focused on your presenting issues and we begin to set goals.
Born in NY and having lived in Brazil, Japan, Hawaii and now Florida, I am culturally sensitive. I have had much experience working with Brasileros , Hispanics, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Veterans, Military, LGBT and New Yorkers. Having been through years of my own Psychotherapy, I understand the process both intellectually as well as experientially.
Many clients are ADULTS and KUPUNAS (SENIORS). Depression, Anxiety and Trauma are most prevalent. I provide Individual, Couples & Group Therapy, Supervision, Consultation & Workshops/Trainings. In addition, I have an interest working with those with Cancer, Hereditary and those with the BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genetic Mutations. I, also provide Financial Therapy.
