| I work with a wide variety of individuals, from
executives, artists, clergy, and students, to business owners, IT professionals, managers
and those in leadership positions. I have worked extensively with gay and lesbian clients,
especially around issues of self-esteem, developing healthy, loving relationships, as well
as overcoming anxiety and depression. I have consulted with small businesses in addition
to having run a nonprofit corporation for over 10 years. I also worked in publishing and
advertising for many years before becoming a licensed psychologist. My corporate and
nonprofit work experience have brought me a broad understanding of workplace dynamics such
as team-building, managing difficult work situations, finding satisfaction in work, and
defining organizational missions. My approach to therapy is to work collaboratively and
interactively with individuals, couples and groups in order to achieve healthier, happier
internal and interpersonal relationships. I have developed a special appreciation for the
ability of group psychotherapy to help individuals learn more about themselves than is
possible in individual therapy. As an active member of the Northeast Society for Group
Psychotherapy, I have learned about the power of group to change peoples’ lives in
unexpected and deeply satisfying ways. Through developing relationships with other group
members, individuals learn what facilitates and what impedes intimacy. Group therapy
fosters acceptance of self--both strengths and vulnerabilities--and reinforces ways in
which members can best make use of their strengths to enhance relationships with oneself
and others. |
