Personal Statement

I am a psychologist with many years of experience and an exposure to a broad range of therapeutic approaches. I relate easily and informally to clients from diverse backgrounds. I am an active participant in the therapy process and I draw on my extensive experience base to ask the kind of questions which help clients to quickly identify the basic issues which underlie their emotional problems. I focus on my clients strengths rather then weaknessess and as a result, my clients find me to be very affirming and suportive as they work through these emotional issues. I keep abreast of new developments in the field of psychotherapy. I regularly explore new treatment methods and incorporate the best of what I find in my practice. I am trained in both EMDR and DMNS. These are two exciting new therapeutic approaches which are proving very effective in treating a variety of emotional problems.
