Introduction: Regardless of whether you are struggling with physical/medical issues, emotional/mental issues or relationship/family issues, my approach is always to affirm the best in you. It is designed to find the brilliant potential within you and light it on fire!
Do you feel out of control with your eating or your weight? Do you lie awake at night obsessively worrying? Do you feel anxious, stressed or depressed about your life, your work or your relationships? Do you take antidepressant/anti-anxiety medications, but still have "symptoms"? Do you wish you could talk to someone who could really hear, understand and help you resolve the emotional pain you are experiencing? What price are you paying by minimizing the degree of suffering you experience? What price are those whom you love paying by you avoiding, denying or staying stuck in your pain?
As a holistic therapist, I view you as a whole person, not as a diagnostic label. This enables me to understand the source of your pain and your "symptoms" and to tailor individualized interventions that will resolve your unique core issues and allow deep change to become a real possibility.
In the past, I was the Chief Psychologist of a psychiatric hospital, the Director of an eating disorders program, and a university psychology professor.
On a personal level, I know first-hand how devastating trauma and loss are. Having worked on my own issues over the years has profoundly deepened my work and has made me a more compassionate and understanding person and therapist.
I bring to my practice almost 40 years of experience. I am very passionate about my work and consider it a real honor and privilege to be able to help people to grow and actualize their full potential.
