living.

Specialized Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - providing specialized treatment for
generalized anxiety, panic disorders, phobias, depression, obsessive
compulsive disorders, post-traumatic stress syndrome, trichotillomania (hair

.
Integrative Psychotherapy - emphasizing the unity of the mind/body/spirit
by combining alternative medicine interventions such as meditation,
hypnosis, acupressure and mindfulness training with traditional
psychotherapy. This blend of treatment approaches can be especially
helpful in dealing with the psychological effects of physical illness as well as
in promoting healthy life styles.
Treatment Philosophy
My work does not follow a singular approach to treatment, but rather I
employ a variety of well-researched interventions to help people achieve
the goals and changes they desire. Within this context, I focus on creating
an atmosphere of empathetic understanding, acceptance and genuineness.
I believe that by experiencing trust, acceptance and respect clients may find
the safety to explore themselves and change; that the relationship between
the client and myself is vital for healing to occur; and that clients’ instincts
are sound.
The majority of treatment I provide is short-term and goal oriented. I offer
long-term therapy for clients who need and request such.
