CLINICAL TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE

Limited Independent Practice from 1979

Currently, my practice is focused on the treatment of adults who present with symptoms of anxiety and depression. For many of my patients, the primary relationship in their lives, usually with a husband or wife, is the focus of therapy. My therapeutic approaches range from cognitive to psychodynamic, and, sometimes behavioral.

Since 1979 I have attended numerous workshops, seminars and lectures on various aspects of clinical practice, including different therpectic modalities and patient groups.
