Better Health Starts Here.

I have been a psychologist since 1982 and still love what I do. I believe that therapy is an ongoing growth process and that it is important that all facets of our life be attended to (mind/body/spirit). Whether you are experiencing a short term problem, a reaction to a specific situation, relationship problems, a truama, depression, anxiety or a medical problem therapy acn help. I have worked extensively with people that have both chronic and acute medical problems. There is a wealth of scientific studies that have repeatedly shown the value of the relaxation response, breathing,relationships and being in therapy to help in dealing with medical problems. Trauma suffered as a child, of result of being physically or sexually assaulted, witnessing a truamatic event or war is treatable. At any given point 25-50% of my practice is helping people recover from trauma. Depression and anxiety can be treated effectively often without meds. If medications are needed, I am comfortable working with your family doctor. My treatment approach is based on interpersonal, Gestalt and psychodynamic theories. I do incorporate some CBT into treatment but that is not my primary focus. I also teach clients the relaxation response when approapriate and they so desire. I am very comfortable incorporating YOUR spirituality into treatment. At times, I have worked with local clergy to help people overcome a particular problem. Please call so we can discuss whether I would be a good match for you.
