About Dr.
My professional background includes over 25 years experience as a clinical provider, professor, healthcare consultant, executive, researcher, and writer. My most recent publication "Grace and Authenticity: Uncovering the Authentic Self" offers a glimpse of the approach and method(s) used to reduce stress and anxiety and improve your perceptions, see new opportunities, and draw on your existing strengths to live your desired life. Uncovering your internal healing ability and resilience helps you to develop your own approach to overcome obstacles and barriers that may be blocking your growth. Discovering the life that is meant for you is to find great treasure. On this platform, I offer about 20 daytime sessions per week. We will use primarily cognitive, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and systems therapy approaches to help you reach your goals. Growth is simple, but not always easy. It is always worthwhile. Seeing your "self" from a new perspective can change your entire life - I have witnessed this over and over, and it is possible for you. Read more Show less
