I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over thirty years of psychotherapy experience. I've come to view what I do as an unique and specialized form of education. I "teach" not so much by telling people what to do (although good advice can sometimes be very useful), but by offering supportive, empathic and honest feedback. Individuals and problems are unique; sometimes solution oriented approaches are warranted, and other times insight and exploration help to provide clarification and relief.
My clinical approach stems from an existential/humanistic framework. I believe the relationship we develop based on rapport, trust and honesty create a collaborative relationship from where we can work..
Additionally, I have been a meditator for many years and also use a mindfulness-based approach to help my patients discover their true natures and what they truly believe. I don't think we get what we want in life as much as we get what we believe! Feel free to contact me to ask questions about therapy, treatment goals, and the therapeutic relationship.

Groups
Group Therapy
Basically, the focus is on improving interpersonal and relationship skills. The power of group therapy lies in the ability to receive honest yet supportive feedback from members. Members tell one another how they are experienced--what are things they do that make others be drawn to them, and what they do that doesn’t. Group is a laboratory, a social microcosm. Members can experiment with different ways of relating.... it's a process of receiving honest feedback, trying out new behaviors and finding effective ways of connecting with other group members, as well as use these changes in their relationships..
