Psychotherapist in private practice in Sedona, AZ. Most of my work is with people who have difficulty in relationships, either feeling too emotionally isolated in their relationships or too merged. My strength lies in helping people find a place where they can be in intimate relationships and not emotionally lose themselves or emotionally overwhelm their loved ones. While most of my practice is made up of individuals, I also see couples, both straight and gay couples, who are working to stay together or who need to separate in a meaning way. Children/adolescents often factor into couple treatments, both gay and straight, and parents are helped to deal with issues that arise for children threatened with separations. My preferred method of practicing depends on whom I'm working with. many people can only attend therapy once a week, while others want more frequent help. The therapeutic approach I use is the Relational Approach which is focused on relationships and on creating healthy dynamics between individuals. My practice is made up of creative professionals: artists, musicians, composers, writers, lawyers and doctors. I also work with couples, both straight and gay. My book on 'intimacy' discusses much of my work and the people who I work with. Many of my clients are in recovery from substance abuses or they are family members of substance abusers.
