My Approach to Helping
Please make yourself comfortable in my office. I provide a place where we can talk confidentially about your concerns, stresses, desires and deepest aspirations. The outcome therapy is your self-acceptance, self-satisfaction and peace of mind. We will dig deep to find the pearls of wisdom that you can carry away, that will help on the path to happiness.
What is unique about me is that I connect deeply, I have a big heart, and am understanding and nonjudgmental. I listen intently to my clients and use a wide variety of techniques to help them. I take great pride in my work and in the progress of my clients. I am available to them when they are in crisis and am both skilled and empathic, yet practical at helping them move ahead in every session. I have over 30 years of experience in this field, and training in dynamic psychotherapy, hypnosis, EMDR, eating disorders, Imago Relationship Therapy for couples, anxiety states and depression. I also have a special interest in women's issues.
More Info About My Practice
When you call, we will talk for a few minutes about your primary concerns. If I feel I can help you, I will offer you an appointment or two, and we will evaluate the current situation vs. the desired one. I will become your therapist only if I feel I help you. I will give you feedback when you ask for it and will be honest and respectful at all times. The therapeutic relationship is based on honesty and trust. Your feelings will always be honored. After all, it is your
time.
