Therapeutic Style

I consider the therapeutic relationship to be a very important aspect of the healing process. Individuals get sick in dysfunctional relationships and get better through honest, caring and mindful relationships.

My style of psychotherapy emphasizes interpersonal interactions, introspection, cognitive-behavioral change (i.e., conscious intentional changes of the emotions by changing your perceptions/beliefs and actions), role playing, EMDR, Integrative Restoration (iRest), hypnotic techniques, breathing retraining and body awareness.

I give honest feedback, emotional support and I believe that a good sense of humor is a necessary nutrient for growth.

How do I achieve this goal?

· By helping my patients to define their difficulties and their aspirations.

· By getting them to change troublesome thoughts, feelings and/or patterns of behavior.

· By helping them consider and practice alternative ways of relating to people, places and things that cause distress.

This empowering process develops honesty, mental clarity and emotional courage.
