Practice Description:
In my private practice with children, adolescents and adults I offer a range of individual, marital and family psychotherapy services. I see psychotherapy as a creative challenging process where motivated individuals learn alternative approaches to dealing with problems in living and interpersonal relationships. I want my services to be a positive and meaningful learning experience for my clients. My recent professional interests include working with individuals who are struggling with stress, depression and anxiety, couples dealing with marital and sexuality issues, and children (and adults) dealing with ADHD and autism spectrum disorders.

Practice Description:
I have been a clinical psychologist for 40 years. Diagnostic and therapeutic services are offered to children, adolescents, and adults. I am primarily interested in providing individual psychotherapy to these populations. My approaches include psychodynamic and insight psychotherapy, hypnosis, play therapy, mindfulness meditation, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This last approach is most often used for the treatment of PTSD, generalized anxiety disorders, phobias, stress-related disorders, complicated bereavement, and complex trauma resulting from repeated neglect, and physical or sexual abuse. It is useful in the treatment of depression, particularly in those patients who have an extensive trauma history. It has also been helpful in treating patients with chronic pain. Children, particularly those that are relatively noncommumicative, often respond positively to EMDR.
