In my clinical practice, I see clients who range in age from adolescence to older adulthood. I like to adapt my approach to what is best for each individual. For anxiety disorders such as panic disorders and phobias, I have found that cognitive-behavioral therapy with biofeedback generally has the best results. For overcoming blocks to achieving one’s goals, often a more psychodynamic approach is best for uncovering fears and old, self-defeating messages. The new “positive psychology”, or psychology of well-being, or “flourishing”, is very useful for those who want to develop more fully the attitudes and habits that support a healthier, happier present and future. Frequently, I use a combination of approaches. Integral to all my work is a collaborative relationship with the client and support of his or her strengths and resources.

I am especially experienced in psychotherapy for anxiety disorders, depression, pain or medical conditions and life transitions. Areas of greatest biofeedback experience are anxiety, pain management, stress management and psychophysiological disorders, where the mind-body connection is especially important.  I’d be delighted to hear from you if you feel that my approaches and experience might be of help to you.
