Individuals and Adults

---

I see clients from age eighteen on up.  My forty years of experience as a therapist has exposed me to a broad spectrum of people, issues and methods of treatment.  As I have grown in the work I do, I have come to understand that each peerson is unique and may need different things from the therapeutic experience.  I try to be sensitive to each person's needs with regard to time, finances, goals and approach.  I believe in the collaborative nature of a therapeutic relationship.  I am active and engaging, and try to keep clients focused on what are the specific skills they are learning, and how they are feeling in relation to the goals they set.  My approach is primarily cognitive/ behavioral.  I have been strongly influenced by the psychodynamic work of  Donald W. Winnicott, the relationship research of John Gottman, and the expressive/healing nature of the creative arts, specifically dance/movement therapy.
