My Expert Service
|
|
For over 20 years in my private practice and in hospitals, I have helped individuals, couples, and families discover better ways of dealing with their world. My approach to therapy is compassionate, reassuring and solution oriented. I see individuals for depression, anxiety and sexual abuse. I see couples for premarital, marital, post-divorce, specializing in issues of infidelity, affairs, and cheating. I also see clients for parenting issues, specializing in the problems of new parents.
I use a multitude of therapeutic approaches: cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, psychodynamic, existential, behavioral, and family systems therapy, etc. Coming from a teaching background, I am acutely aware that clients have a wide variety of learning styles. I try to fit the method to the client.
When working with couples in premarital or marriage counseling, I assess & facilitate change using the research & methods of John Gottman. This approach for martial success is comprehensive and highly effective. I am a Certified Gottman Educator for the Bringing Baby Home Workshop also. I am in the Central Standard Time Zone and am mostly available for chat or by phone 10:00am to 6:00pm on Monday, 10:00am to 1:00pm Wed, and by appointment on Fri., Sat., and Sun. From time to time you may find me online on Tues, Wed & Thur. Emails will be answered as soon as possible and within 24 hours.
