Philosophy:
My work focuses on developing an honest and open relationship with
clients meeting them on their level of communication. I
have developed a variety
of strategies over the years. I use holistic evaluation to
define issues followed with cognitive behavioral strategies, basic
communication and assertiveness training and conflict management
training. I also provide education material, homework and group and
couples counseling
when appropriate in addition to individual therapy. In
addition to
utilizing local psychiatrists and general practicioners for medication
management of various mood disorders, I enjoy teaching
holistic concepts and meditation/ relaxation training.
