I have successfully helped hundreds of people overcome daily anxiety, panic
attacks and other challenges. I teach tools that can be utilized anywhere, anytime
giving immediate results. Clients learn to take charge of their lives and make long-lasting changes in a short period of time.
Using Body/Mind Psychotherapy, I work with each client to
charge up energy, moving from thoughts to feelings to grounded action. Through breathing techniques, relaxation exercises
and journal writing, I assist each individual in developing a plan for maintaining emotional health along with managing personal
crises.
In private practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker
for more than 20 years, I counsel, lecture and teach workshops on managing anxiety and panic attacks, sexual abuse,
post-traumatic stress, addictions, eating disorders, parenting, relationships, spirituality, and Holocaust issues. As the
lead interviewer/trainer for Spielberg’s survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation, I developed and conducted
training sessions on five continents.
PUBLIC SPEAKING
An
exceptional speaker, I have charmed audiences of 10 to 1000 around the world. As a workshop leader in business and professional
settings, I keep participants actively involved in the subject matter. A skilled facilitator, I am a quick study in reading
group dynamics, and adapting my presentation to engage those in attendance. I include practical applications and exercises
that can be taught anywhere in any setting, and incorporated immediately into participants’ lives.
