My Approach to Therapy
Over the past 30 years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life. My approach is grounded in a deep respect for the individual human spirit and a true belief in the therapeutic relationship as a means to create a sense of possibility in life and a desire to move forward. We all have the answers to those challenging questions within us. My hope is to facilitate this process of recovery.
My Practice & Services
In addition to my practice in psychotherapy, I am a lecturer on topics such as posttraumatic stress (PTSD), and the history and psychobiology of trauma and its treatment. I supervise therapists and psychologists individually and in groups. I also provide presentations and conduct workshops both nationally and internationally.
My Therapy Focus
Each person brings their unique qualities to the therapeutic relationship. With this in mind, I draw upon a variety of approaches including psychoanalysis, relational psychotherapy, self psychology, focusing, group therapy and spiritual psychotherapy. I believe that the challenges that come up for us are messages from the deeper parts of ourselves. My hope is to bring forth all those inner parts that desire a voice and to create a sense of freedom and greater insight.
