My Expert Service
|
My approach to therapy is unique and fitted specifically for each client using experiental/existential theory that works! In addition, my clients are treated with Rogerian principles of genuiness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. I am experienced in working with clients experiencing immediate distress due to problematic life issues (grief/substance abuse/mental illness).
My services via the internet will help the client cope with the current situation as experiental therapies deal with present moment context. The client will be asked to present the issue to me and following background questions, alternative solutions will be suggested during the session. If solutions do not arise, client will still respond to treatment due to the nature of therapy, calling on the succesful inner voice of the client. As the client is emotionally supported during the session, his/her narrative will be heard and normalized. The client will feel relief following session.

Experience & Qualifications
|
I have worked with persons afflicted by mental disorders for over ten years, beginning with suicide prevention counseling and recently, hypnotherapy.
An important element which sets me apart from most therapists is my own personal experience with Biploar I disorder, formerly known as Manic Depression. I have lived functionally with this disorder for over twenty years and have learned to manage the swings with relative ease, due to the help of good therapy in the past and medications. Part of my interest in becoming a psychotherapist stemmed from feeling an intense need to help others with this disorder and related illnesses. If you are suffering from a similar disorder, trust me in that I can help you, or at least hear your message on a personal and empathic level.
Now I look forward to helping you!
