My specialty areas are- Tension reduction,
- Stress management,
- Alleviating depression,
- Unresolved grief,
- Adults with ADHD,
- Relationship issues,
- Health/Fitness/Weight.
I work with individuals ages 15 through 99, as well as with couples. I use a variety of methods depending on the client and the problem. For instance, I rely on expressive therapy to help with unresolved grief, whereas I use mainly behavior therapy for tension reduction. Above all, I check frequently with my clents to be sure the methods I am employing are meeting their needs.
I have been helping clents with relaxation for 35 years, and I have continually refined my methods. I have in many instances helped clients to experience deep relaxation when they had failed in prior attempts. I always try to balance challenge and support.
At the end of session #1 clients almost always tell me they feel comfortable with me. Clients are very often uncomfortable about making that first contact.”
