My Approach to Helping

PSYCHOTHERAPY and BEYOND:
Clear your Core Issues and Step into your Fullness of Being

Psychotherapy and Beyond: Clear your Core Issues and step into your Fullness of Being

Have you been working on yourself for a while but still find yourself hooked by old issues and triggers? Many of us can intellectually understand and discuss our issues but, despite our insight, still find ourselves feeling stuck - repeating the same old, discouraging patterns. Perhaps, we?ve found that talk therapy alone hasn?t gotten us everything we?d hoped it might - and sense that
something more is possible - but we don?t quite know what it is or how to find it.

I offer a cutting edge blend of psychotherapy and effortless spirituality that clears difficulties at their source ?the key to producing long-term results. This approach organically retrains our nervous system, so we are no longer triggered by old issues. My clients report feeling remarkably different ? vibrant, balanced, and deeply renewed from the inside-out.

My approach addresses the two key reasons why our best efforts to change and find fulfillment don?t succeed - even though we?ve been trying hard through therapy, self-help or spiritual practices.

The lasting changes we long for continue to elude us because:

One: We haven?t fully cleared the underlying core of our difficulties. These underlying ?core stories?, beliefs and reactions still trigger us because they lie buried in our primitive brain and nervous system - out of reach of our rational, conscious mind.

Two: We haven?t learned to tap into our natural sense of peace and freedom ? a resource that doesn?t come and go - even in the midst of our busy minds and emotions. This space - this ?ultimate medicine? - effortlessly dissolves intense emotions and sensations without ignoring them - opening us to an all-inclusive state of fundamental peace and fulfillment ? where ?nothing is missing?.

How do the therapeutic tools work?

The tools of Brainspotting and EMDR can help release painful emotions, difficult behavior patterns and reactive triggers to situations and relationships. They work by releasing core neurophysiological sources of pain, trauma and other symptoms where they are lodged- in the deep limbic brain and nervous system. Hypnotherapy and energy work clear unconscious obstacles and help you contact the strengths you know are there within you but haven?t been able to fully tap into.

What can you expect from a session?
I have been a psychotherapist for 30 years and have a warm, down to earth style, which is compassionate as well as insightful and intuitive. My clients experience profound clarity, positivity and lightness after most sessions. There is a sense of spontaneity, and often surprise, in how
one moves organically toward healing.

Being a meditator for over 40 years, I am able to easily ?rest? in the healing state of ?natural freedom? and ?serenity? and I can help you do the same. You will discover how to enter this place that is free of all pressure, pride, shame and artificiality - a place that simply can?t get any
better. As you slip into this ultimate state of ?spacious presence?, where ?meditation happens all by itself?, you feel your needs fulfilled from within and can experience what it?s like to be ?All of What You Are?..

Please feel free to call me for a free in-person or phone consult.

More Info About My Practice

I am very excited about a new therapeutic method I have been using, called, Brainspotting. It is extremely effective in gently and deeply accessing and healing a wide spectrum of issues. It can be used to help heal physical as well as emotional difficulties.
