Philosophy:
Psychotherapy Practice: Individual, Couples, Family and Group Therapy
Individual Therapy:
With more than 30 years of experience in cultivating my clinical skills, I draw from many disciplines in order to help people make changes that improve their life conditions.
Couples and Family Therapy:
My early training and certification in couples and family therapy has laid the foundation for my clinical mind. Through extensive work in the areas of trauma and abuse, I have come to understanding the depths of despair and the journey to finding a path to experience purpose and joy.
EMDR & Trauma:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is the most powerful tool for helping to release the strength of disruptive symptoms and allow for restoration of health and functionality. Through a simple process, powerful negative symptoms lessen and at times disappear completely.
EMDR is an efficient and effective intervention for reducing symptoms of anxiety, pain and trauma. It is based on theory that suggests traumatic events (small level traumas as well as large level traumas) activate multiple sensory experiences (body sensations, thoughts, emotions) which get fragmented and stored in the emotional control center of the brain. It is as though there were a chip in the brain's limbic system, secretly holding emotional and physiological charges from traumatic experience that can cause a person to re-experience feelings and sensations associated with the past. Once symptoms are triggered, an individual can feel helpless and frightened because they are not able to gain control over their body or mind.

Group Therapy:
I have been leading different types of groups since I first began working as a psychotherapist. Joining with others in a group experience can powerfully enhance a person’s growth and change process. |
