My Approach to Helping
I have been a holistic psychotherapist for almost 30 years. I trained as a Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapist with Albert Ellis, PhD, and I feel quite comfortable with cognitive-behavioral techniques. (I am an Associate Fellow and Supervisor at the Albert Ellis Insitute.) However, I now believe there are better ways to help people become self-accepting, i.e.: cultivating compassion and gentleness for oneself through self-talk and reinforcing behaviors. These may include, journaling, dreamwork, imagery, book suggestions, meditation CDs, and anything else that's appropriate for you. The way I have incorporated my doctorate in homeopathic medicine is to help people without suggesting they see a psychiatrist for medication. In my experience, very few people actually need psychotropic meds to get through a difficult time. I may suggest a homeopathic remedy, a Bach Flower Essence, an herb, breath work, or a meditation/yoga practice to soothe whatever is creating distress. My office is a safe place for people to explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I believe what we seek is already within us. My work is supporting you as you navigate challenging times, work through old and/or current issues, and find that peace that really does lie in each of us. Please feel free to call me and ask any questions you might have. I am also available for psychotherapy by phone.

Groups I Work With
I work with all groups except children under the age of seven. In addition to the specialties on the right side of this page, I also work with ATHLETES through SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY. Psychological skills training helps maximize athletic performance beyond that which can be achieved through physical training alone. This may include visualization, breath work, cognitive-behavior techniques, and other strategies designed for each particular athlete.
MONEY ISSUES: Whether it is voracious spending, hoarding, the inability to let go of money, difficulty saving, or any other money related challenge, I can help.
