PSYCHOTHERAPIST INDIVIDUALS - COUPLES - GROUPS - CISM
ABOUT
I have been in practice for over 35 years. I weave my Psychotherapy to suit each person that I am working with. Trained in numerous modalities, I respect and work with the psycho-socio-biological and spiritual parts of each person. Developing a therapeutic relationship and cultivating trust are primary in my work with my clients. Intuition, perceptiveness and energy fields guide me as well. My strong interest with trauma work comes from my belief that we all have been traumatized in different ways. Being in the womb, leaving the womb and the birthing process are the beginnings of trauma.
I have a special interest in working with those who have cancer, hereditary cancer, as well as the BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genetic Mutations. Most of my clients are adults and Kupunas (seniors) and I find depression, anxiety and trauma to be most prevalent. I also provide couples psychotherapy, clinical supervision, consultations, and workshops/trainings.
Born in NY and having lived in Brazil, Japan and Hawaii, I am culturally sensitive. I have had much experience working with Brasileros, Hispanics, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Veterans, Military, and New Yorkers. Having been through years of my own Psychotherapy, I understand the process both intellectually as well as experientially.
