Personal Statement
“The need to be understood is universal. In understanding one’s behavior, I may employ a variety of modalities, including brief solution focused therapy, Ericsonian hypnotherapy, biofeedback and stress management techniques, neurolinguistic programming and Art Therapy. If, as I believe, each person has all they need within themselves to solve the problems of their lives, then together, or in a group process, we will discover or create the direction or solution that applies.”
