Bio:
My clients generally feel relieved and hopeful almost as soon as making contact with me. It's reassuring to know that your therapist has 30 yrs' experience and can help! I am warm yet direct, creative yet informative, engaged yet objective. My expertise includes: family therapy, individual therapy, couples therapy and group therapy. I am very skilled in counseling adolescents, school-aged children, and adults. Through psychotherapy, my clients have enjoyed success in replacing destructive communication patterns in the family with effective skills, overcoming anxiety and depression, connecting with others-intimately or otherwise, and increasing self-esteem.Each person has an innate striving toward mastery, and I begin by immediately accessing that powerful drive. Feeling understood for their strengths as well as their struggles is very important when people are hurting. A sense of humor helps too! In addition, I love giving talks and workshops for large groups.Becoming a Psychoanalyst gives me the insight and compassion to co-create profound and lasting change. Other training: family systems, behavioral therapies, indirect hypnosis, guided imagery, Gestalt Therapy, EMDR trauma work, and group. I have taught grad students at The U. of L.. My clients love my unique "Communication Format" which teaches safe conflict resolution.
