The human experience is not something that always works based on logic. Our brains are wonderful tools that can occasionally get stuck in a survival mode that leaves us feeling helpless and terrified. We can become stuck logical loops, anxious cycles, helpless before the fear of the unknown, or in a dark depression that stops us from continuing our previous goals and fun hobbies. Our past can be a reason for this. Sometimes it might be recent events at just the wrong time. It can even be a combination of small things that seemed to always shift never going away. My philosophy of treatment is to teach my clients how mind and body work so that they can make their choice in how they choose to live and interact with others. I am trained in EMDR, hypnosis, and IFS and apply all in working with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression and for pain management from physical illness. A person's mind is like a garden, cultivated or left to it's own devices it will always grow. When carefully tended it is a thing of beauty, but if left alone it is a mess of weeds. In understanding the thoughts and beliefs you have about the world and how you can shape them, you can learn to thrive. With a new perspective you can change everything.

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

Our first session begins with introductions and a brief getting to know who I am to help you feel comfortable with my methods. Afterwards we discuss how I conceptualize your case and how I will be using my modalities to help you improve your quality of life.

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

I have a more directive approach to treatment that is focused on teaching client about how mind and body work and then helping them bypass the difficulties that arise in typical CBT style therapy. The brain does not work on logic and just assuming someone can remember and talk about a reason why they do what they do will not affect a change. Through use of hypnosis, EMDR, and IFS we can begin to help the client enact change and find better health outcomes.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with clients often suffering from trauma and anxiety. Often times my clients have functional impairments. They use anxiety in their life to be high performing but then experience friction from spouses and family members due to their constant negative beliefs and perfectionism. I have worked with depression and burnout as well as grief and chronic pain.
