| Practice Description: |
I understand the importance of developing resilience-to-change in order to effectively cope with major life transitions; loss and endings (divorce, retirement, serious medical illness) as well as beginnings (new relationships, marriage, birth of a child, starting a career). Without such resilience, life can feel overwhelming, self esteem becomes precarious, and mood can dip dramatically. As a licensed clinical psychologist, with more than 25 years experience, my clients value my warm, collaborative approach to relationship issues, inter-generational conflicts, mid-life issues, and self-defeating behaviors that keep people stuck.
I also work with adolescents who face more than the usual growing pains, parents who want to do a better job with their children, and couples (in both traditional and non-traditional relationships), helping them to relate in more emotionally-satisfying ways.
As Co-Director for 10 years, of the Center for Coping with Chronic Illness, I have helped patients and their families deal with the impact of ongoing medical concerns. Previous experience in business and law have also ably equipped me to coach business partners in a variety of interpersonal business-related issues.
