Working as a psychotherapist for 30 years, I have a wealth of experience
and learning to offer clients.
I provide conventional individual talk therapy with an option to
incorporate expressive art therapy, stress reduction training, clinical
hypnosis, mindfulness and meditation training. We’ll decide together
which approach works for you based on your needs, resources and
preferences.
The clients I work with are adults, 18 years and older, who may be
experiencing difficult life transitions, academic or work problems,
relationship difficulties, grief, depression, anxiety, panic. I also help
people who are coping with chronic or life threatening illness - either
their own or of loved ones.
My primary orientation is Person-Centered (http://en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/Person-centered_psychotherapy) underpinned with
psychodynamic understanding.
I’m skilled in cognitive-behavioral therapies (such as DBT and CBT)
especially as they are used to increase mindfulness and self-compassion.
An underlying assumption is that therapy generally works best when it
combines a focus on the here and now with exploration of the past
sources of patterns, self-limiting beliefs and behaviors.
Expressive Art Therapy provides opportunities for accessing, processing
and expressing feelings and experiences that defy words. It’s also usually
fun to do and requires absolutely no artistic ability.
Clinical Hypnosis is neither magic nor mind control. The link on this page
offers a good description of how it works in therapy. It’s useful for many
problems, including anxiety/panic, self-image, self-defeating habits, and
medical conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and chronic
pain. I use a 7 session approach to treat IBS that is very effective for a
large majority of people. Unfortunately insurance does not cover this
treatment. There’s a link here where you can read more about the
research behind it.
Training and credentials include a Master's Degree in Counseling from
UNC-CH, licensure as a Clinical Social Worker, certification in Expressive
Arts Therapy by the Person Centered Expressive Arts Therapy Institute
and certification as a practitioner of clinical hypnosis by the American
Society of Clinical Hypnosis.
Fee for a 45 minute session is $90 and is covered as ‘in network’ by most
Blue Cross Blue Shield plans and MedCost and as ‘out of network’ by Cigna
and some other plans. If you have other insurance, you may want to check
with your insurer to make sure they will provide reimbursement.
If you want more information or would like to schedule an initial
appointment please call 919-932-6262 Ext. 216 to talk to me
directly.
