Most of my private practice is as primary psychotherapist for children and adults. I see individuals and adult couples. When I see children, I also meet with their parents periodically.

I also collaborate with other psychotherapists in treating patients who need EMDR. (See FOR PROFESSIONALS) In these cases, I confer with the primary therapist, and we work as a team to help allay troubling symptoms.

Some reasons people have come to me for psychotherapy:

• recent traumatic events (See EMDR)

• traumatic events of the past (See EMDR)

• "Leaving Home"

• body image

• infertility

• compulsive behaviors - including drinking, food bingeing and purging,
   shopping, sexual acting-out, smoking, using recreational drugs

• unresolved grief

• deficits in social and/or communication skills

• depression--aimlessness--unclear goals

• anxiety

• nervousness

• parenting problems

• problems in making serious commitments

• feelings of inadequacy

• irrational feelings

• marital problems

• problems with work and social relationships
