Practice:
Therapy Without the Angst: Therapy doesn't have to take years and be intensely painful! My approach focuses on gaining the skills to feel better quickly. I'll teach you to calm your anxious mind, be more confident, and find meaning in life challenges. As a licensed psychotherapist for 20 years, I've culled the best of many different techniques: CBT helps you change unproductive thinking and behavior; depth therapy yields fresh insights; mindfulness training fosters awareness and centeredness; DBT shows you how to regulate intense emotions and thoughts which might otherwise overwhelm and "flood" you.
My style is interactive, personable, warm, and direct. My clients see me as a real person who cares about them and their concerns. My approach is collaborative, and we work together as a team. I do both short and long term therapy, and I work with individuals, couples, and families.
I see clients for most presenting problems, though I specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, depression, stress, and chronic pain/illness (I published a book entitled, Living Well with a Hidden Disability, on coping with invisible health conditions.) I have a flexible sliding fee scale, and accept most insurances. |
