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

My Approach to Helping

Emotional problems and destructive behavioral patterns are impossible to overcome when fueled by the ongoing influence of trauma. Enduring change requires the elimination of the potent effects of these memories or experiences. Psychotherapy is effective in facilitating the elimination of pain from trauma, even when events are repressed or forgotten. Unconscious conflicts blocking desired change are identified, resolved and cleared out.

Trauma can be a single incident or it can be something to which someone is exposed over a longer period of time. Abuse can be emotional, verbal and/or physical. No experience is judged. It is our perception of the experience that counts and that can be altered.
My mission is to utilize a variety of powerful techniques to facilitate the fastest change. These include:
- Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
- Behavioral and Cognitive Psychotherapy
- Sex Therapy
- Hypnotherapy
- Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Past-Life Regression Therapy (PLRT)
An integrative-holistic approach to treatment combines elements of the psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, EMDR and energy therapies. I uses a holistic approach that combines traditional and alternative, short-and long-term models, incorporating practical methods for dealing with each person's unique circumstances. I embrace a comprehensive approach in my emphasis on treating the mind, body and spirit to maximize psychological, sexual and spiritual health.

Connection and relationships are crucial to psychological health. As such a working therapeutic relationship is essential to a positive outcome. Trust, openness and collaboration are key elements to a successful relationship. I strive to work with each individual, couple and family as a special entity with unique needs in a collaborative approach.
