People struggling with fears, depression, relational problems, especially people who have somehow "lost" themselves tend to experience me as deeply compassionate yet able to target the primary cause(s) of their pain and identify what they may be doing to contribute to the ongoing problems in their lives. A sometimes surprising part of my therapeutic manner is that I am interactive in sessions while maintaining great respect for a person's capacity to direct their own lives and utilize their current pain toward growth of their real self and, hence, an enlivened life.
My specialty is the self and the development of its healthy functioning in relation to oneself, others and one's world. I focus on understanding how early relational patterns are expressed in relationships now, inhibiting the self, expressed in various symptoms such as depression, anxiety, panic, compulsive behaviors, and relational distress.
I also help people work through loss, grief, and trauma. I have a significant amount of experience working with the elderly as well as adolescents and children. I enjoy working with families to increase communication and healthy functioning.
