Please Note! I do not take insurance. My practice is currently limited to sex therapy, treatment of sexual trauma, and treatment of coercion/cult-related issues. I see patients Mondays through Wed. I work intensively with shame-based disorders, including addiction, trauma, sexual dysfunction and acting-out behaviors. I see many adolescents who struggle with identity and guarded secrets. I have been extensively trained in adult, adolescent and child psychology. I am licensed and Board-certified, and I am credentialed in addictions, hypnosis, EMDR, and am a Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT).
My training has been psychodynamically, existentially and experientially-informed. I consider my primary modality to be interpersonal psychotherapy, which emphasizes using the therapy relationship rather than manuals, techniques or "gimmicks." I combine that with hypnosis, CBT and EMDR when appropriate for a very integrative approach.
I have special expertise in and am nationally recognized for my work in the area of social/psychological manipulation and abuse (e.g., destructive cults), coercion and trauma. I do a considerable amount of psychological testing and assessment, for other psychologists as well as for various Courts. However, I no longer do custody evaluations.
