My Approach to Helping
I help folks target their difficulties, identify personal strengths to support progress, & work on problematic areas. Examples: changes in communication, learning how to better regulate emotion or attention, experimenting with new approaches to old problems. Together we track progress. I work collaboratively, tailored to your needs, guided by my experience. In practice since 1979, I work with folks of all ages and w/most problems. My approach is collaborative and informed by your needs, challenges and strengths. I enjoy long-term depth psychotherapy as well as short-term problem solving therapy. I work with parents, couples, families and, of course, individuals. I have extensive training: interpersonal/object relations, systems theory, cognitive-behavior, mindfulness/spiritual, hypnotherapy, psychoneurological/biochemical, AD/HD, attachment & narrative therapies.
