Techniques                                       

• I am experienced with a variety of theoretical orientations and offer both short and long term psychotherapy.    After all, what works well for one person may not be as effective for another.
  
  
• In a typical session with me, I will teach specific skills and tools to manage emotions and situations.  This can include learning communication skills (such as assertiveness), cognitive behavioral techniques (changing thoughts and behaviors), relaxation techniques, homework assignments, and readings.
  
  
• I help clients to tell their life story so as to process the deeper dynamics and meaning of their history.  This helps to facilitate insight which for some is instrumental for healing and for change to take place.

Mood Management

• Anxiety: Fears Panic Phobias
• Depression: Daily Episodic

"Anyone can become angry, that is easy,
but to be angry with the right person,
and to the right degree
and at the right time
and for the right purpose
and in the right way
that, ...is not easy"
                          Aristotle
