Therapy is a very personal and intimate journey to self discovery, understanding & acceptance. It can also be a journey with an intimate partner in discovering connectedness & being present for the needs of your partner Clients seeking to explore the emotional depths within themselves & remove the barriers to achieving their desired life, will find a working partner in my practice. Whether it's feeling more connected in your relationships, reframing a negative thought process, or moving through your trauma, I am ready to help. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR & Imago Relationship Therapy using it successfully in my 20 years of practice helping clients dealing with depression, anxiety & relationship challenges. I have extensive experience in working with addictions & the relationship between your patterns of use & unresolved trauma, depression, or anxiety. I am a skilled trauma therapist, trained in EMDR. I have experience working with a diverse client population to include: issues related to sexual orientation, couples therapy, and the challenges created by overuse of social media and internet pornography. I recently acquired a program that will support bilateral stimulation in EMDR sessions while on video

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, I enjoy getting to know my clients. It's not a traditional kind of assessment as I gather information about my clients in conversation with them. It can frequently take 2-3 sessions to gather the info, but building rapport, safety and trust is most important to me. I also like to share a bit about myself and my practice in the first session, along with answering any questions from the client.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I am primarily a Trauma-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, but do frequently utilize skill building/coping skills that are found in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I also use Imago Relationship Therapy for couples and effective communication in general.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have a strong attachment to Buddhist teachings and the power of meditation and mindfulness. I have personal and professional experience in the areas of addiction and recovery, and I have worked extensively with chronic health conditions to include HIV/AIDS. I am an excellent listener with empathy and compassion for my client's experiences.
