I offer a customized and comprehensive approach to the
whole you. Your mind set is the beginning, it affects your
body and your relationships, it also affects your spirit . . .
your enthusiasm for life.

By integrating a blend of therapies such as dialog, EMDR®
(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing),
Brainspotting®, guided imagery, experiential exercises, body
awareness and mindfulness and others, we are able to create
a program that accesses your own inherent healing abilities
that can make real internal changes. I work with you to
achieve the deep, real internal changes that release you from
old patterns and perceived personal limitations.

I have been in practice over 12 years and have a lifetime of
my own experience, challenges and triumphs, to guide my
work with you. I work with anxiety, depression and grief,
traumatic stress disorders (e.g., PTSD), life transitions and
performance enhancement issues. I see these “disorders” as
symptoms of familiar, but now ineffective, patterns of
thinking, believing and ways of being.

I have found that most of these problems emerge from either
old trauma experiences that added something into your life
that you didn't want or need OR developmental deficits, not
getting something that you did want or need, which
prevented you from knowing your full potential.

Now is the time to release that which is no longer helpful or
life enhancing and to restore what is right for you. It is my
goal to see beyond the appearances of limitation and to see
what we know to be the truth of who you are…and to work
with you to reveal that truth.

I am always amazed and inspired by the tenacity, resilience,
and inherent beauty of my clients…and I truly look forward to
entering into this sacred time with you.
