I am a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist and music therapist for more than 30 years. I use an eclectic approach for working with adults of all ages, couples and children. My work is informed by attachment theory, humanistic and modern psychoanalytic theory, as well as the mind body connection.
Sessions can include ways to increase awareness of sensations, and how feelings are experienced in the body.
As a music therapist, I use the exploration of the creative process and its expression with clients.
Psychotherapy is a wonderful tool to help clients discover more of who they are. With my support, they explore their strengths, the sources of their distress and their journeys for a more joyful, empowered and present life.
Issues that we work on together include:
- Relationships
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Isolation and social anxiety
- Self esteem issues
- Trauma
- Life transitions
- Loss and grief
- Managing anger
- Identifying and implementing life goals
- Creative expression
Couples- (pre-marital, non-traditional, marital):
Build or restore healthy relationship and strong connections with their partner.
My years as a social worker and then as a psychotherapist, have shown me the resilience of the human spirit. Building a trusting relationship with a skilled clinician can be a very powerful force.
Please feel free to reach out to me for a consult about your interest in pursuing therapy at this time.
