What is your approach to counseling and psychotherapy?
I have been trained in a number of theories. For social anxiety I use insight Behavioral Therapy, Behavior change through assignments, insight oriented talk therapy, empathy and support, intersubjective-relational theory. My approach is humanistic and interpersonal. I work with social anxiety, depression, anxiety, work stress, relationship issues, codependency, loss, and life transitions such as marriage or moving in, retiring, new child in the family, or moving to a new geographical area.

For group psychotherapy, my approach is Yalom-style Interpersonal/relationship/ process. I was personally trained by Dr. Irvin Yalom for 3 years. I have studied many other approaches through the American Group Psychotherapy Association. (AGPA).
