ORIENTATION
* I offer an active, insight-oriented, and compassionate
approach, integrating strands of depth/Jungian, psychoanalytic, relational,
existential & cognitive- behavorial perspectives. I appreciate the
influences of unconscious processes on clients' lives and choices. I often work
with dreams, creative writing and art, whose expressions often illuminate,
provide insight and reveal meaning.
*Lasting change does not often come
from advice alone -- change usually comes from within. Difficulties can arise
when clients' feelings and thoughts are not fully experienced. Cultural and
biological factors also contribute to problems. Enhanced self-understanding is
often the main goal of therapy, whether one faces internal or external
obstacles, or some combination of the two.
SERVICES
*Individual
therapy is a process in which the client and the therapist meet to examine areas
of emotional and social difficulties which are affecting the client. These
difficulties may occur in school or work performance, in relationships, or in
day to day living.
*Couples Therapy
Goals for couples include:
increase respect, affection, and closeness, break through and resolve conflict
when you feel stuck, generate greater understanding between you and your
partner, keep conflict discussions calm, and maintain improvements in your
relationship.
CLINICAL SUPERVISION

WORKSHOPS
