Hello! I am a clinical psychologist and have been in private practice since 1988. I am a "seasoned" therapist and have worked with a wide range of people dealing with anxiety, depression trauma, life changes, gender and sexual identity issues, LGBTQ, and disabilities (I am fluent in American Sign Language). My style is an interactive one, where we work together to achieve your goals. I have many tools in my toolbox including to help you better improve communication skills, confidence building skills, reduce stressful triggers of anxiety, depression and trauma.
In our first session, you will have an opportunity to "interview" me and see if we are a good fit. I will explain my philosophy in working with you and identify what you hope to accomplish in therapy.
My years of experience in a wide range of environments underlie my passion in helping people recognize and becoming comfortable with their differences and challenges. I believe that we all have differences and as such while the path may be unique, the journey towards wholeness and happiness is the same for all of us.
I love working with people from all walks of life! In thirty years of experience I have worked with people from all walks of life and have specialized in working with women's issues, survivors of trauma and abuse, gender and sexual identity issues as well as those with those who have hearing loss - from young to old, able bodied to people with disabilities all addressing life's changes and challenges.
My orientation is a "YOU" centered one, where I may use any number of techniques including EMDR for trauma, Transactional Analysis for understanding your communication style, assertiveness training, and movement therapy to further the mind body connection. My goal is to help you achieve balance in your life.My orientation is a "YOU" centered one, where I may use any number of techniques including EMDR for trauma, Transactional Analysis for understanding your communication style, assertiveness training, and movement therapy to further the mind body connection.
