Description of Practice:
I have a general adult practice. My approach is twofold: I pay attention to immediate concerns and self-care. I often use breathing meditation and mindfulness techniques and relaxation. I help (re) connect to personal strength and resources. We also find out what are the issues, attitudes, and feelings that interfere with making the desired changes and improving well-being. I often use dreams to understand unconscious and interpersonal dynamics. With couples, I act as a coach and guide to a mature dependence and deeper intimacy. I help identify the skills that protect relationships, allow for individual differences, and work through the difficult times. When I work with clients with (chronic) pain, I am interested in helping acquire coping skills or maximizing the use of already acquired skills, broadening the use of interdisciplinary treatment, and coming to a meaningful resolution of the negative effect of pain on self-schema and mood. Clients must be ambulatory.
