About me
Choosing a therapist is an important--and sometimes difficult--decision you can make for yourself. You want to find someone who is caring, knowledgeable, and accessible. Someone willing to take the time to really listen to you and treat you as a person, not just as a patient or a set of disorders. In my practice, I pride myself on the level of excellent service that I provide my clients. I offer fifteen years of professional experience coupled with advanced training in hypnotherapy; you can rest assured that the treatment you receive will be empathic, supportive, and carefully tailored to match your needs.
Specialization
Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy
Professional Expertise
I offer goal-directed psychotherapy, promoting competence and self-assurance in day-to-day problems; and insight-oriented exploration for greater self-awareness, understanding, and self-actualization. My work with artists and other creative people has taught me to seek creative solutions to problems for all my clients. I have received advanced training in clinical hypnosis from The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH), and bring this as an adjunct to therapy, or as a technique for change on its own.

Psychotherapy
A psychotherapist is a trained mental health care professional who helps people identify and work through the factors that may be the cause of psychological or emotional distress. Psychotherapy is the treatment of emotional or behavioral problems through the use of psychological techniques, often in one-to-one interviews or small groups. Psychotherapy is beneficial for many conditions such as depression, binge eating. It also helps the patient in developing skills for improving relationships, as well as understanding self, personal goals, and values. As with any CAM treatment, please keep your CAM provider and PCP informed of any alternative or conventional treatments you are currently undergoing to insure safety and suitability.
