When you are feeling depressed or overwhelmed, you may feel that you have few options. You may feel even worse if you are drinking more than usual or engaged in other compulsive behaviors. I will help you see that you have choices and that you can start acting and thinking in ways that make your vision of a satisfying life a reality. I am solution-focused and although I believe psychotherapy is a process, I am comfortable working with a short-term model as well as in a more ongoing way. I believe in being direct while remaining empathic.
I believe change occurs when people are willing to try out new ways of acting with support and encouragement. I integrate concepts and tools from recovery programs into my practice. I am certified in EMDR, which is highly effective in resolving the aftereffects of trauma and negative self-beliefs.
I have 35 years of professional experience as a social worker and am certified as an alcohol/drug counselor as well as being certified in EMDR. I also have experience working with compulsive sexual behavior and love addiction and have worked extensively with the LGBT community.
