Personal Note
Hello,
I'm a seasoned psychotherapist with over 15 years experience. I use traditional psychotherapy, mind body methods and holistic nutrition (as requested) to access of each person's inner resources for health and healing. I also help people prevent or discontinue medication with medical assistance when appropriate. We are living in an exciting time in medicine, mental health and counseling. Research abounds on the efficacy of complementary and alternative methods, and on the value of integrating these with traditional psychotherapy.
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist, board certified clinical hypnotherapist and pending certification as a nutritional consultant.
Prior positions include directing a child and family therapy center in the Bronx, and facilitating the Mind Body Program in Kaiser Permanente's Mid Atlantic Integrative Medicine Department, where I helped train and coordinate integrative treatment with medical staff.
My work often focuses on helping people enjoy fulfilling relationships without compromising their individual selves. I view people as naturally moving toward health: We do what we can to find balance in our life. Problems arise when old methods of keeping balance no longer work. Or maybe an extreme situation requires an extreme reaction in order to keep some balance physically, emotionally and in relationships. Balancing extremes can work for a short time but over the long run usually leads to crisis, exhaustion or blocked potential. I see my therapist role as a caring guide in helping to reveal underlying imbalances which are causes of conflict, pain or stuckness in your life. And to help you find enjoyable new ways of balancing life that supports your happiness, health and relationships. I welcome the chance to partner with you in your healing, growth and goals. Feel free to call with questions or to talk over your situation.
