My therapy approach is rapid and effective behavior and life change, in accordance with the client's own goals.
As an interactive therapist, I am goal-orientated, pragmatic and solution-focused. In addition to providing support and practical feedback, I use multiple approaches and techniques to give highly personalized care tailored to each client's individual needs. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths, tackle their symptoms and challenges, and grow personally.
With 35 years of psychotherapy experience, I have worked with a broad spectrum of clients and issues. My areas of expertise include Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Mindfulness, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and Psychodynamic approaches.
I have served as a Clinical Instructor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at The George Washington University Schools of Medicine and Health Sciences. I am a co-founder of the Northern Virginia Society of Clinical Hypnosis (NVSCH), a local component society of ASCH and a past President of the Washington Society of Clinical Hypnosis. I am a graduate of Brown University and received both my Masters and PhD from Yeshiva University's Ferkauf School of Professional Psychology. My dissertation research was at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
