Not accepting new clients
Accepting a limited number of new patients....Creating emotional intelligence involves many things: understanding mood changes and why certain circumstances create anxiety; communicating better in relationships and expressing feelings more positively; building skills as a parent or understanding what it means to go from couple to family. If we are in transition, in gender or in life purpose, we want to create a firmer sense of identity and direction. We want insight and the ability to create a future unbound to a traumatic past. We want to create new patterns of behavior and thinking that enhance our connection to others.

With a warm, practical style, aimed to enhance and maintain both short- and long-term change, I collaborate with individuals to help navigate life’s challenges. I focus on integrating treatment goals while fostering a nonjudgmental relationship by meeting clients where they are and adapting treatment to fit individual needs. For example, skills-based treatment involves a more direct, structured track. Whereas general psychotherapy tends to follow a more reflective, spacious path. And at times, both may be interwoven throughout the course of treatment.

Phobias, general anxieties, relationship issues, physical disabilities, pain - these are human problems, and as humans, we are afflicted by them.
I've been in private practice since 1980 - and I love my work, probably even more than then. My clients are mostly adults, with an occasional primary school age or adolescent child. As psychotherapy has become more accepted, older adults have become more likely to come as individuals and occasionally with a partner and/or adult child. It's wonderful to see people grow and be relieved of their emotional burdens - Freud didn't believe it was possible to do psychological depth work after mid-life, but was he ever wrong!

Chronic Pain Therapists
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
