Therapy style

In 37 years as a practicing clinician, I've developed an ability to quickly ascertain underlying problems that generate unwanted symptoms. I use an eclectic style and a variety of therapies and techniques that meet the needs and preferences of my clients. I work to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters exploration and positive change. I start by processing at the conscious level and then work at the physiological level to facilitate mind-body healing that can stand the test of time. I partner with clients to create a treatment plan that helps them become increasingly self-accepting, hopeful, and empowered.
