Affirmative Psychotherapy As A Collaborative Way to Improve Your Relationships and Your Work Life -- & To Discover New Sources of Health and Creativity
As a therapist in private practive for 15 years, and as a professor and a published author, I bring an ever-growing apprecation of how to syntheisze contemporary psychotherapeutic methods to provide for my clients the most optimal transformation.
If you have sat with a therapist who has been passive or who has not been deeply engaged, what I can offer you is a dynamic working relationship. My way of doing therapy is to help you feel safe but also to give you the sense that we can accomplish a great deal in each session. We can do deep, healing work, especially if you have a life-long problem with depression or anxiety that has not been fully worked through. I am also actively engaged in helping you problem-solve in your work life, your romantic life, and your friendships -- to give you day-to-day tools for changing your thoughts, improving your relationships and discovering a renewed sense of soul in your life.
Having founded and directed the first LGBT Specialization in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University, I have an open-minded and non-pathologizing attitude towards sexuality in all people and work hard to make sure that your cultural and ethnic sense of who you are is honored and explored fully. I have expertise in working with gay people. My interest in feminism brings to therapy a strong committed feeling that women deserve to feel empowered and that all of us are still deeply burdened by the societal obligations we all feel to fit in and play a role.
Affirmative Therapy is a place to become more free and also to make sure that we find real solutions to problems that keep us back from fulfilling our life-long goals and potential.
