Professional Interests/Specialties

Every problem in living presents a unique growth opportunity. I assist in the process of change or growth by promoting awareness of what is NOW seen through the lens of ACCEPTANCE and acted on in the spirit of EMPOWERMENT. I utilize the modalities of respectful listening and dialogue, assessment of cognitions, interactions, and family-of-origin issues, emotion and sensation focus, reframing, guided visualization, dream interpretation, and risk-taking assignments..
