Looking back on 30 years in practice, I see a composite client losing inhibitions and conflicts interfering with having a satisfying work and personal life. Central issues are often connected to wanting to feel more whole and happy and to separate from while staying connected to family. Finding, keeping, or leaving a relationship or job are usually part of the work. Together, we explore and unravel emotional knots. New behaviors and skills are developed and used and by providing a warm, safe environment, the client changes, grows and thrives. Note: I am not taking new appointments for ongoing therapy. Consults are available for stepmothers/stepcouples.
1984: Psychotherapy practice established. ONLY DC group founded/managed by social workers. Became custodial step-mother to twin 5 year olds, now 26. Facilitated stepparent group for 12 years. Committed to work with individuals and couples from all walks of life. Insurance participation reflects my belief that everyone is entitled to affordable, professional services.
