My clinical practice consists of:

1) Individual psychotherapy- adults and late adolescents who wish to improve the quality of their lives and confront patterns of anxiety, depression, dependence/independence, early trauma, stress and coping, and/or relationship difficulties.

2) Couples and family therapy - with an emphasis on systems theory and interventions that address issues of intimacy/autonomy, gender, and families of origin.

3) Organizational consultation - including coaching, team-building, conflict resolution, organizational assessment, and strategic planning.

As a practicing clinical psychologist for many years, I am a Fellow of the Academy of Clinical Psychology (A.B.P.P.), a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, a Diplomate of the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress, a founding member of the National Registry of Certified Group Psychothera- pists, and author of six textbooks on psychotherapy and other psycho- logical issues. I am broadly trained and have a deep respect for the potential of individuals to change their lives in meaningful ways through an active therapeutic relationship.
