I've been fortunate to work at some of the leading treatment facilities in the country. My years at McLean (1986-2004) and Emerson Hospital (2004-2013) have been instrumental in providing experience with a diverse population of clients. These include children, adolescents, young adults, adults and seniors, on a wide range of issues including addiction, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, altered thought process, relationship issues, and trauma. My style is interactive and collaborative. It is my belief in order to help change behaviors, we first need to work on changing attitudes. The key to changing attitudes is to build a relationship grounded in trust. In my years of experience, I've observed that one of the most effective ways to build relationships and break down the inherent wall of resistance that accompanies some new clients is through activities that they find challenging and enjoyable. This style has worked well and I hope to offer my experience, care, and understanding as we explore together those areas in your life where you may feel stuck, overwhelmed and sometimes out-of-control. My clinical/therapeutic coaching style will help you come to terms with accepting where you are presently, while working together to formulate a plan of action in moving you forward. Show less
