Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

I specialize in working with Anxiety, Panic, Phobias Depression, Trauma, PTSD, Grief And Loss, OCD, Relationship Issues, Overeating and Bulimia. I am a caring, empathetic and interactive therapist who is practical and problem solving oriented. I have worked in the field for over 28 years and have a broad range of training and experience. I am usually able to tailor the therapy experience to your needs, helping you understand why you are having the problems that brought you to therapy and working with you in practical ways to help you solve you problems.

I use traditional Talking Psychotherapy to help you evaluate and understand the factors that have shaped your current problems. This approach uses working with the your beliefs, feelings and behaviors in a way that can eliminate or reduce symptoms. I also can use Imagery, Somatic Psychotherapy and Mindfulness Meditation to teach you to use your awareness of body sensations to directly affect the unconscious nervous system to make changes that go beyond what talking therapy is able to do. I am certified as a practitioner in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR and Interactive Imagery(sm).
