My Approach to Helping

My work is focused on the client's needs and I offer my own experience, training, and attention to assist each client in their process. I do not believe that therapy has to take a long time; it takes as long as it needs to, which varies from person to person. I am continually learning and adding new perspectives and techniques that enhance my work with clients. I enjoy using a depth psychological approach, which involves acknowledging the unconscious as a companion in the therapeutic process. My method is truly eclectic, however. I frequently use EMDR, Gentle Reprocessing, dream analysis, traditional talk therapy, and sandplay. I also encourage clients to learn and use some kind of mindfulness or meditation technique since research shows that such practice brings positive results. Many of my clients have experienced excellent results by integrating HeartMath practices into their lives as we worked together. I have completed an Externship in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and use that attachment-based approach when I work with couples.

More Info About My Practice

I recently received trained in LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) and have started using neurofeedback with clients for whom it is appropriate. I am excited about using this new modality to help people with ADHD, mood disorders, and TBI.
