About
Life's challenges can sometimes force us to shut down in order to keep going. In therapy, we look at your essential patterns of living and relating--main themes which may have begun in childhood or later. We will look at the ways you cope with and protect yourself in difficult circumstances and how effective they are. Research continues to show that the single most important element of successful therapy is the client's relationship to the therapist as a person, and with the methods of therapy. Another crucial element is the strength and courage you bring to the work. We will work together to set and revise goals. I will guide your focus, provide insights, and help pace the work. I will also provide education about psychological and neurological processes. Exercise, diet, spiritual beliefs, outside reading, meditation, the arts, and medication (when indicated) can also enhance our work together. I have worked in clinical settings collaborating with physicians to provide therapy. I have worked intensively with survivors of trauma. I am trained in EMDR. I am a writer, and founded Writers In The Schools in 1986. I have an additional master's degree in Creative Writing and Literature.
