ABOUT ME/HOLISTIC THERAPY
|
My Psychotherapy Practice
I have a general psychotherapy practice, which means that I see a diverse group of people from different races, cultural backgrounds and national origins, religious beliefs, social backgrounds, sexual orientations, and political persuasions.
Clients range in age from older teens to early eighties. I work well with both men and women, with singles, with those who are coupled (in a variety of ways), and with those who have separated/divorced or are in the process of doing so.
I provide individual therapy and relationship counseling, as well as a "body-mind-spirit" or "holistic" healing approach for some clients depending on their specific needs and preference. I appreciate and benefit from the 'mix' of people I see. Because I have a body-mind-spirit psychotherapy and healing practice, I can continually grow, learn and develop in all areas of my life, including through my work with clients.
Credentials and Training
I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in the state of Maryland and have been in priv ate psychotherapy practice for more than 25 years. I earned a master's degree in social work from Washington University in St. Louis and a doctorate in health care from Johns Hopkins University. I did post-doctoral work at the Gestalt Institute of San Diego.
I provide therapy services to clients and offer documentation for third party reimbursement of services by insurance companies.
I have done extensive post-graduate training to continually develop as a psychotherapist. This includes short-term workshops as well as intensive residential seminars, many aimed at body-mind-spirit psychotherapy and holistic healing approaches. To work effectively with my clients, I must continue my own growth and enrichment.
Among my specialties is working with adoption issues, including parenting issues, adoptee search, open adoptions and international adoptions. I co-authored a book, Once They Hear My Name: Korean Adoptees and Their Journeys Toward Identity, which was published in 2008.
I have taught graduate social work, nursing and medical students while on the faculties of Washington University, the University of Maryland, The Catholic University of America, Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins University. I continue to teach other therapists in the workshops and consultation group I lead.
