About
My clients experience lasting results because we go to the root of their issue which involves more than just talking. Problems which get addressed in this way are efficiently and permanently resolved and in a shorter time. Clients know that they're changing and they love it.
As a Psychologist & Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 25 years, I am committed to helping people work through what's keeping them stuck - confusion, emotional or physical pain. I'll help you identify what's holding you back, interfering with your relationships and life plans. We'll identify your hidden habits of thinking that continually disrupt your ability to maximize your potential in each area of your life. As we uncover and rewrite the scripts that are running in the background and keeping you stuck in pain and frustration, you'll find yourself experiencing a newfound peace coupled with creativity and motivation.
My style is collaborative - You are the expert on you. I use a trauma and attachment approach to focus on all aspects - thoughts, emotions and feelings. We'll tend to old wounds and currents ones to heal what happened to you, as well as the things that didn't happen but should have - love, protection and support. Healing is specific and permanent.
As a mind-body-soul practitioner combining EMDR, CRM, hypnotherapy, positive psychology, mindfulness and numerous other tools, my focus is to provide you immediate relief from anxiety and depression. In a gentle yet powerful approach, results are achieved much faster than using only talk therapy. I invite you to a new experience of yourself.
I'm honored to be able to see people's lives change and unfold in the way that they've always wanted. To be able to facilitate that kind of experience is deeply gratifying work.
